Building Systems & Empowering Builders.

When I joined the Senior Web Development Club in Grade 9, I barely knew how to code. My CS teacher built my confidence and empowered me to try. That experience changed me, and I've spent three years paying it forward.

I transformed our club from a competition-focused group into a space where "I don't know how to code" became an invitation, not a barrier. When Andy joined last year with zero experience, I didn't fix his bugs. I asked questions until he debugged them himself. Today he's building sophisticated algorithms.

The lesson: The greatest impact isn't writing the best code. It's helping someone else discover they can.

Run weekly meetings where we dive into emerging tech, break down research methods, and help students build independent projects. We've completely transformed our school. We now dominate the local science fair, sweeping top spots consistently and send multiple students to nationals every year.

Making STEM accessible isn't about dumbing things down. It's about removing barriers so everyone can reach up.

"Math isn't a solo sport. It's collaborative problem-solving."

That's the philosophy behind our club. We explore Game Theory, 4th Dimensions, and advanced topics beyond curriculum while preparing for CEMC competitions. But the real goal isn't winning competitions. It's transforming how students see mathematics: not as something you're "good at" or "bad at," but as a language for exploring complex ideas together.
