Check out CS 402!

We are thrilled that our after-school clubs for 4th and 5th graders are all going to be *in-person* this Fall semester. Therefore, we are looking for a few more UW students to co-lead those activities at two Madison elementary schools!

CS 402 - Lab 321 (Tuesdays at Stephens Elementary) 2:30 - 3:30pm

CS 402 - Lab 324 (Tuesdays at Van Hise Elementary) 3:25 - 4:25pm 

Many students find CS 402 to be a uniquely rewarding experience at UW-Madison! Our clubs have been incredibly successful for the past few years and many kids, parents, and teachers are interested in learning more. We usually teach more than 200 kids about computation and programming each semester! 

Please check out this video of CS 402, and considering enrolling to participate!
