High school students from the Computer Science Hon High school students from the Computer Science Honor Society led an activity in fifth through eighth-grade advisories on November 27 💻. To celebrate the start of Computer Science and Computational Thinking week, high school students challenged students with some computational thinking activities. In grades 5 and 6, students had to come up with rules to help someone win at tic-tac-toe and then they traded rules to see if their steps worked. In grades 7 and 8, students learned about data compression by trying to translate nursery rhymes into coded messages. The high school students also talked about how computational thinking connected to computer science. Eleventh-grader Sage Sauders talked about how she had initially signed up for two introductory computer science courses in her freshman year, despite not knowing if she would like it or not. “But taking the courses, I found myself really excited by computer science and the opportunity to be creative whilst trying something new,” Saunders said. 📸 Photos by Zoe

Seventh through eighth-graders line up when recess Seventh through eighth-graders line up when recess ends after a new lunch line system was established. The new system was created because of complaints from students about last year's ways. Now at the end of recess when the whistle blows, students line up by advisory group. For the eighth-grade, that's on the basketball fence, and for the seventh-graders, they are against the wall on the football field. They then get dismissed by advisory; every other day, a different grade gets dismissed first. "The old system did not work well for many reasons,” eighth-grader Yasmin Taraporvala said. "Many students would cut the line to get to lunch. First, it was difficult for teachers to direct two grades worth of students because the line was so unorganized, so students would have to wait for around ten minutes to get to the lunch room, which ultimately took away time to eat."
