CS

Computer Science is taught by Mrs. Tarrico, a wonderful teacher with questionable IDE taste. The year starts with a crash course in website design which culminates in a final project (you have 3 guesses to figure out what the project is). The rest of the year is spent between learning java, ala AP CSA or doing an independent CS project dependent on your comfortability with java. We also compete in ACSL (American Computer Science League) for both senior and classroom division. Later in the year we participate in apps for good where we collaborate to, you guessed it, create apps to help people.

During the beginning of the year we did some challenge problems and these included a few ACSL open response questions. This one was to determine the permissions a user had in a linux based command line. The code itself was a ton of if-statements, and while not all pretty to look at, it runs, and that, plus the friends we made along the way, are what really matters.

Currently for my independent CS project I am working on a geotagging app. How it would work is one person would be able to drop a message at a location and when other users arrive at that location they would be able to see said message. Currently I'm working on the backend, however the frontend code is relatively simple so here it is. It's written in dart as I'm using flutter and firebase for the backend. So far the projects looking great and I expect the launch will happen in the spring.
