Cape Coral High School offers many different clubs to get students involved in after school, such as coding club.
Coding Club became a new addition to Cape High starting last year as Hector Alberro and Adrian Ruiz started it, but didn’t receive as much attention as it has this year. Mason Nguyen, social media manager, said, “The word spread around more this year and we had more time to prepare this year. Started putting up posters and had a segment on Hawk News, it was more structured and more people came.”
For those who would be interested in attending and joining coding club there have been meetings for the past two weeks every Monday from 1:45-2:30 in room 160. Coding club has an open door policy.
Coding club is always excited to welcome new additions into the club. Adrian Ruiz, the president of coding club at CCHS said, “We have officers who are happy to get you started on your coding journey and learning so you can catch up with the rest of us.”
Coding club officers include Adrian Ruiz as president, Hector Allbero and Sebastian Gomes as vice presidents, Mason Nguyen as social media manager, and Alejandro Diaz as secretary.
Coding club is an interesting club that teaches students how to code different languages. Something to look forward to this year in coding club is that club members will learn how to code two main languages, this semester Python, next semester, Java.
Adrian Ruiz, a senior at CCHS, has goals for what he hopes coding club to become, “We’re seniors starting it up so we want to be able to pass something down to the lower classes, and the juniors as well. Hopefully they can carry the club beyond what we are going to be doing this year and hopefully get into competitions.”
Jeremy Velasco, a member of Coding Club expressed his thoughts on what is so interesting about Coding Club, “It’s definitely the personalities there, I feel like everyone there is different, and you get to meet new people, and also just get to learn complicated routines.”
Alejandro Diaz, secretary of coding club, said there could be room for improvement, stating, “Things could be a little bit more organized, we’re a little bit disorganized right now since it’s our first time running the club. We started last year but this year we started gaining more new members. ”
“There’s people in coding club that kind of want to learn the same thing as you do. So you get to work with those people and learn together,” said Alejandro Diaz, a student and member of coding club at CCHS.
