Computer Club>>

What is the Computer Club up to now?

The Staples Computer Club is a club where students who have a passion for computing and communications gather every Friday afternoon immediately after school in room 963 or in one of the computer labs (usually room 901).

One issue that we'd like to mention is about our image. Many people perceive the club as a place where nerds unite and do whatever they do on computers. While this is true and this is how the club originated, we have realized that we are a good bit more than that. Many of the projects we embark on are not things for ourselves, but rather, projects that are geared towards the community. This web site for instance, and the TV system. We also created a system where teachers and students were able to post/manage their homework, which was replaced by the WLN. So in addition to the gathering of the geeks, we also like to think of ourselves as a technical Key Club of sorts. So perhaps this is another good reason for you to join--if you like to help people or have any ideas about things that we can do with technology to make people's lives easier, we'd love to hear from you!

One of the Computer Clubs most recent and on-going accomplishments which you are probably more familiar with than you think you are is this great new revision of Staples on the Web! We have also brought you such things as the TV Announcement system, the Sports System, Inklings on the Web, and the original homework system where Teachers and Students alike came to get their work done, until it was replaced by the WLN! We've also brought you such guest speakers as Microsoft's Michael Winser and PC World Magazine's Michael Miller!

We hope to see or hear from you soon!
