The Mission

Compute’s goal is to serve as an informative journal, catered to Lake Braddock students, while allowing journalists to express creativity in their articles. By keeping the journal broad, encompassing the entirety of computer science, there are very few restrictions in what journalists can write about, and by extension, what anyone can read about.

Operating Schedule

We plan on making editions every month, each with at least one article per journalist. This edition will then be destributed across Lake Braddock’s computer science program, through a Discord server, (more on that later) a mailing list, and schoology updates, giving any CS student a chance to read any/all of the articles written. The hope (and long term goal) of this project is to continue operating for years to come, making it a staple in Lake Braddock’s computer science program.

You may be asking, “I want in! Where do I start?”

How You Can Participate

The nature of a student-run journal is that, well, it needs students to run it. Without journalists, webmaster(s), and organizers, this journal would inevitably die off. Furthermore, there’s no upper limit on how many contributers there can be for a journal - of course quality is more important than quantity, but of course:

To become a journalist, all you have to do is join the Compute Discord Server! From there, there will be detailed instruction, and anything you don’t understand, I can help you with! It would be awesome to get as many people as possible for this journal, so it would be hugely appreciated if you want to join.

There’s also a Compute club! It only meets once a month for an hour, and journalists aren’t required to come to the meetings, but if you want, you can also come to the club to get started (for more information on the club, join the Discord server.)

Anyways, that’s what Compute’s all about. Since you read the whole article, here’s a picture of a cute cat:
