IT tech company Lockhead Martin sponsored the Third Annual Code Quest competition this past week. This year it was held for the first time in Orlando. Students from Florida, North and South Carolina attended in groups of two to three students to solve 15 to 20 Java Programming problems.

Computer science teacher Aurora Kersey took AP Computer Science students Kyle Bustami, William Bowers and Jesse Shrader to the competition. Students were able to see many simulations, meet many employees from all departments and see first hand how software and computer engineering impacts their operations, as well as how Microsoft Outlook and Excel used to keep track of pilot training. Kersey and her students also saw graphics design and gaming simulations to train pilots.

In the costume contest, Robinson’s team “Pirates of JavaDocs” took first place. .

After years of hard work and determination, Robins $After years of hard work and determination, Robinson’s very own Dayana Dominguez (’24) received admission to Amherst University through the Questbridge Scholarship, a program that works to match underserved students with some of the nation’s best universities. Matching to a University through QuestBridge is an extremely competitive process. Roughly 30% of students who apply to the scholarship foundation become finalists, and only a small fraction of those finalists are able to match – students are asked to rank universities, and vice versa; if the rankings match, then the student is accepted – with a university. “The process is quite extensive and very rigorous,” said Marjan Deboskey, Dominguez’s Guidance Counselor. “She’s actually the first student that I have had, during my time with Hillsborough County, that has matched.” Balancing the considerably large application along with schoolwork and extracurricular activities required something a bit more than hard work: sacrifice. “To get to this point, I had to prioritize school above everything else, that meant sacrificing several hours of sleep and doing some mental gymnastics to push through the difficult parts,” Dominguez said. “The amount of things on my plate has been the hardest part, I have had to work a lot on my time management.” On top of her extreme academic workload, Dominguez is president and section leader of Orchestra, finance committee head in SGA, enjoys competing in Latin competitions and has responsibilities at home. “Outside of academics, I have always had a love for music. Orchestra has been my main focus since middle school, from concerts at school to all county and all state auditions,” Dominguez said. “I love competing at Latin regionals, states and nationals. I also have to mention the full-time job of being an older sister to a wild four-year-old at home.” To read the rest, visit knightwriters.org 📝: Vikram Sambasivan (@vikrams5509) 📸: Cecilia Cheng (@ceciliaacheng)$
