CS Squared student group is exhibiting on Feb. 28th!

Exhibitor Title- "Why does the internet help us explore the world?"

Abstract- The internet has brought us so many advances in recent years that allow us to now do things we never thought possible. We continue to become more closely connected to the rest of the world, and one program that helps us do this is Google Earth. By using Google Earth, you can explore other places around the globe, see sites, and learn exciting information about these places. It also lets you unleash your imagination by building your own 3D structures and putting them on the map. This activity will give you an overview of Google Earth and show you how you can make your own buildings and 3D objects.


Computer Science Community Service (CS Squared for short, http://www.cs2.org.vt.edu/) is a student-run, volunteer organization dedicated to teaching computer skills in the community, often focusing on bridging the ever-widening digital divide.

CS Squared provides a great opportunity for computer science students to use their knowledge obtained in the classroom and from outside work experience to improve their local communities. The organization does everything from building and administering computer labs for youth and technology centers to creating computer clubs in local elementary schools to teach children computer skills. The members are dedicated to the cause of bettering their surrounding, and because of this, CS Squared continues to grow each semester.
