Just wanted to say - yes it works out in the end if you put in the effort, are driven and think strategically. The people in this community are the next generation of engineers, computer scientists, etc. The difference between where you are now and an excellent career is about 6-10 years of hard wo…

Thanks so much @AidenPyle for diving into the CubeSat. What a cool project - would have died if my college had something like that going on. Since everyone seems to want to pile on my CS claim - that is that VEX doesn’t really teach computer science fundamentals - I guess I will continue to make my…

[image] Cody: Just do them at a very well ranked school with name recognition. CMU, MIT, Stanford, etc. I know this ties into the job application process to a degree at least, but I feel you’re doing a disservice to the thousands of other colleges that aren’t in the top percentile for academi…

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. I… am very, well at least I try to be cautious when giving blanket advice - mostly avoiding it but, I have benefited immensely from going to CMU for my MS. It has had an immeasurable impact on my life. Georgia Tech is a fantastic school, that person can get …

[image] Cody: So cost is not an issue for anyone with a CS degree in one hand and an acceptance letter to an elite grad school in another. Would you say grad school is more important than undergrad (for those students that plan on attending grad of course)? And, to what extent? Also, I’d lik…

[image] mvas: Would you say grad school is more important than undergrad (for those students that plan on attending grad of course)? And, to what extent? No, it’s icing on the cake. But recruiters and managers don’t always see it that way - lots of them will see that degree and instantly move…

[image] Cody: Yeah the CubeSat is easily the most interesting thing to pop out of this thread. We need another thread dedicated to it. [image] CubeSat Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill Ask and you shall receive. It appears that many of you really liked to hear about the Cube…

I have been reading through this thread and it is really great. Thank you for starting this! I am curious, what are some things that you learned that you really found useful knowing for college and your job? Are there any other resources you would recommend to learn about Computer Science while sti…

Sorry I’ve been really busy these last few days. Honestly behind on a lot of things. For a high schooler? Khan Academy, take classes, do robotics, watch programming centric YouTubers, read books. It’s really not that hard, once you get interested in the space you’ll gravitate in the right direction…

How does Google do it, can you give an example? I’m genuinely interested.

We have very advanced ways of delivering the user only the resources they need at load time. A lot of work goes into making sure the page is as responsive as possible. It means the massive Google backend is doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make your browser have less work to do.

CubeSat Chit-Chat / Rumor Mill

Ask and you shall receive. It appears that many of you really liked to hear about the CubeSat project that I talked about in @Cody’s recent thread, so I thought I would dedicate an entire thread to discuss it more thoroughly and hopefully inspire some of you. To start, this project was and is a group effort, and I definitely am not taking credit for all the work that has been done on this, however, I have had some major contributions to the club. Feel free to ask any questions, and I will do m…
