December 8-10

   This week was National Computer Science week, so I spent a lot of time getting our school involved in the festivities. Byte Club's advisor had the idea to have a computer science event on Friday of this week to introduce new people to computer science and raise the interest school-wide. She suggested that we give out passes to the computer science students she has now and let those students pick a friend of theirs that didn't know how to code to let them skip the class that the experienced student had their computer science class to come and learn with hourofcode.com. So, this week I spent a lot of time hashing out the details, printing passes, and organizing arrangements for the announcements to get the word out about Computer Science week.
     When I had time, I spent it on the app. I got to a point where I realized that the problem with our current scraping algorithm was the url we were using to scrape from, and not the code itself. This was a bit of a disappointment, because I was fairly certain that by using the shortcut through Google Chrome's developer tools, I would be able to scrape the athletic schedules easily. So, now I'm back to the source code of schedules and the proverbial drawing board.
