Congratulations to Aarik ’28 and Rohail ’26 for their creativity and award-winning excellence in the CMU CS Academy Fall 2024 Creative Task Competition! (Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science)

Students from Dr. Roberta Brandao’s Computer Science – Python class submitted a variety of projects, ranging from fun games to functional programs, as part of this competition’s Complex Conditionals and More Key Events category.  Aarik, a standout freshman coder, won for developing a program that functions similarly to MS Paint. Rohail, an experienced junior, was recognized for his stamp tool, featuring functional buttons and different color paint stamps for document design. 

Problem-solving and iteration are key to writing successful code. Through collaboration, this class refined their programs, leading to award-winning results.
