Orion High School Computer Club
Thanks to everybody that showed up to the interest meeting yesterday for the new computer club. You guys had some great ideas that I hadn't thought of and I enjoyed meeting you. If you are interested and didn't make it yesterday, I plan on having another interest meeting close to the end of the school year. Here is a preliminary plan for next years computer club activities. I also posted some links below if you guys want to get a head start looking at some of the stuff we are going to do. I think that these projects will be fun for both you and me.
