WV Coding Club Announcement August 17!
West Virginia Coding Club is celebrating one of its participants, who recently became the youngest to achieve a unique milestone in West Virginia and 2nd in the World! Look for an announcement after the WVCC meeting on August 17!
WVCC Calendar change:
All WVCC students, please note our May calendar date. We had to make a change due to U.C. graduation date falling on a club day.
Success Story
Trey and William, two of WVCC’s most productive students, have been selected by their school, Ripley Middle School, to be captains of the school’s newly formed robotics class. With their two year background in programming, their selection is no surprise to WVCC.
Way to go guys! So proud of you!!
