Washburn Rural High School's Computer Science Honor Society (CSHS) invites USD 437 students to celebrate Computer Science Education Week with a FREE, family-friendly event!

CSHS is an honor society that is built on the pillars of service, equity, and excellence within computer science. Their goal is to spark curiosity and excitement for learning by giving young students a hands-on introduction to computer science and STEAM activities, which include Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.

The event is designed especially for students in grades K-6, but is open to students through grade 8. No prior experience required! Students will enjoy a variety of activities and carnival-style games, rotating through interactive stations throughout the evening.
Parents are welcome to join in and explore the fun alongside their students!

Washburn Rural High School senior and former Game Design student Brian Rodecap recently returned to Haley Schmitz's classroom to give students a live demonstration of his game, The Last Signal. Rodecap shared, “The Last Signal started as an idea for a class project and ended up becoming something I was genuinely proud of. It was really cool seeing an idea I came up with turn into a game people could actually play.”

Rodecap showed students the ins and outs of his game, including assets, tilemaps, and scripts. Students also had the opportunity to playtest the game and ask Rodecap questions about his experience and advice for the year ahead.

Of the experience, Schmitz shared, "Brian was a dedicated student who took advantage of every opportunity to develop his game. It was exciting for current students to see what is possible when they set their minds to a project!"
