Churchill STEM Club gets students interested in STEM. Anyone can come hang out, learn new skills, build projects, and work together. Topics we're hoping to cover include: computer programming, robotics (through the FTC robotics competition), web design, and cybersecurity. We have member-driven projects like games, apps, and websites. We're also planning on doing FTC, a robotics competition where teams design, build and code a robot, hackathons (where teams create programming projects with limited time and compete in several categories), CTFs (cybersecurity competitions), and others! All levels are welcome — you don't need to be a pro at coding to join STEM Club! For more information, see the intro video or visit our website at www.wchsstem.club.
