This Week in Tech: Week 4

Happy finals week! I am trying out a new microblogging format for coding club, where along with our weekly announcements for coding club, I will also be posting interesting sites and updates in the technology sphere.

There will be no Wednesday meeting this week. In coding club this Thursday, we will be having a chill day where everyone will be hopping onto the coding club minecraft server to learn about logic gates and boolean algebra through redstone. Of course, if you want coding help or simply work time, it will always be available. As always, be there or be square. Below are some updates in tech this past week:
