BUILD REAL software.

A student-run club at Valley Christian High School. We teach the craft of engineering the way it's actually practiced: messily, collaboratively, one shipped version at a time. no résumé theatre.

manifesto

I take this very
seriously.

Too many kids these days are forced into learning programming, especially competitive programming. So they learn, because they were forced to learn. But then afterwards, they realize that their skills are put to waste as they did not know how to put them into practical use.

I want to change that with this club.

bulletin

A YEAR OF LEARNING.

One weekly meeting. A first semester of fundamentals, a second of building. Everything below is what happens in between.

  1. 01

    Adaptive lectures

    Calibrated to the room. Total beginner or you've shipped side projects, you leave with something new.

  2. 02

    Interactive exercises

    You don't learn to code by watching. Short problems break up lectures so the ideas land before they leave the room.

  3. 03

    Workshops

    We build things together. Mentors circulate, questions get answered, everyone walks out with working code.

  4. 04

    Build season

    Second semester, you take what you've learned and make something real. Your idea, our mentorship, real software.

  5. 05

    On-demand mentoring

    Stuck? Email us. We'd rather answer questions than let anyone spin their wheels.

  6. 06

    Zero cost. Always.

    All our resources are free, even if you don't go to Valley Christian. We mean it.

come build something.
