RPI’s Coding & Community Club has taken an interest in the young programmers at Troy High School. Eight students from RPI have provided coding support in three different sections of Introductory and Java programming. Students visit classes five times per week. During class they help students solve coding challenges and fix bugs in their programs. The RPI students also discuss their own experiences, internships, and job outlook with the Troy teens.
