Two West Virginia Coding Club students recently competed in an International event. This annual competition was held this year in Chicago, Illinois, hosted by the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). Trey and William, represented Ripley High School and the State of West Virginia with their project designing and building of an e-Commerce website. They used many of their problem-solving and coding skills developed through the WV Coding Club to apply to this effort and competition.
The competition consisted of 26 teams from the combined countries of China, Japan, Canada and the US. Although the boys did not come away with the top prize, they gained invaluable knowledge and experience and are already looking forward to adding to their skill level to be more formidable next year.
Both boys recently completed an Advanced Tech degree program offered through the WV Coding Club, becoming members of a very select group of students completing this certificate at the incredibly young age of 15.
“The WV Coding Club is very proud of the boy’s significant accomplishments, competing Internationally and representing our State. This level of experience will greatly benefit them as they prepare for their future careers,” shared Dan McElroy, President of the West Virginia Coding Club.
Keep Coding!
