COMPUTER SCIENCE NEWS
New CS Course. Next year we are excited to offer a new second semester CS course in Cryptog- raphy - the science of using secret codes to maintain the privacy and security of information. While the study of cryptography is ages old, it has found renewed importance as a foundation of modern cyberse- curity. The course explores the rich history of cryptography as well as the motivation behind using en- cryption systems, and teaches how to implement a range of cryptographic algorithms in Python. The Cryptography course is open to any student who has successfully completed the Fall course Introduc- tion to Programming.
Computer Club: All students are welcome to join the West Computer Club. This is a like- minded group of computing enthusiasts that meets bi-weekly to discuss and share all things re- lated to using computers. Past activities include gaming parties held in the Commons, designing and building a PC, building arduino-powered robots, providing mentoring to middle school stu- dents, and guest lectures from industry experts. So far this year, we only meet virtually, and we’re always interested in acquiring new members. You do not need to be enrolled in computer science courses to participate in the club. Contact Mr. Quinn for more infor- mation.
Robotics is Virtual This Year! Due to Covid re- strictions, the Robotics Team did not participate in the normal regional Vex VRC tournament competitions this Fall. Instead we entered in the international CoderZ League competition, where students in grades 8-12 designed code to drive a virtual robot through increasingly complex terrain challenges. As we gear up for next season, several opportunities for students who might be interested in robotics are emerging. Vex Robotics has launched an online, self-paced training program that teaches students how to design and write code for controlling robots. There are also new hands-on labs that offer instruc- tion on how to design and build competition robots. It has never been easier than it is now to learn how to design, build and program a robot. This is great news for robot enthusiasts!
Virtual Spring Training is a 10-week online course that is open to all students. You will be working in a state-of-the-art integrated programming environment that links embedded instruction with a simple, easy-to-learn block- based coding format to learn and practice the basics of robot control. You do NOT need to be on the robotics team to par- ticipate in this activity. All that is required is an internet-connected device. This completely virtual, self-paced course of- fers an easy on-ramp to the world of computer science. Programming (virtual) robots is both fun and chal- lenging. There’s something for everyone of all ages and interests. Yes, adults can do this too!
Robotics Team Recruiting. If you are interested in STEM careers, robotics has a LOT to offer. The West Robotics Team is growing, and we have capacity to add more students who are willing to commit to learning and participating in team activities and competitions. The best way to find out if robotics is for you is to simply join the Spring Training that starts in February. No commitments are required, and you’ll get a taste of what robotics is all about. Contact Mr. Quinn for more information.
Summer Robotics Academy. This is the next step towards pre- paring to join the West Robotics Team. Students who have a positive expe- rience in Spring Training should consider attending the “robotics bootcamp” that is held during Summer Learning, June 7-25. We’ll meet for 4 hours each day, Monday-Thursday to engage in a professional curriculum designed to get you ready for competition in the Fall. This is also an im- portant opportunity to begin collaborating with team members to start planning how to build your team robot for next year’s Vex Robotics Chal- lenge. On the last day of the academy, students will hold a mock competition with the robots that they built and programmed, in- cluding an audience of parents. 7

DECA Districts 2021 (Virtual) ...On the Road to STATE!
DECA District competition looked a little different this year. The conference was 100% virtual. Eleven schools compet- ed in the conference. This year’s competitors showed real commitment as they were asked to find time in their sched- ules to commit to competition. Students took a 100 question exam online and participated in one role play and had to upload their presentation to YouTube to be scored by the judges. West students did an amazing job and had 34 com- petitors that placed in the top four of their event.

THE WAUSAU WEST SPANISH CLUB SUPPORTED OUR COMMUNITY DURING CHRISTMAS
The Wausau West Spanish Club wanted to be part of the big challenge that several groups in the community worked hard to make possible for kids less fortunate in our community. Our club offered their service to support this great goal that the Toys for Tots program did for the community with the help of the Salvation Army in Wausau.
On December 15, 2020, the Spanish Club participated in sorting and packing toys at the Salvation Ar- my Center in Wausau. This was a great learning experience to work as a team for a great goal. We wished all of the families Merry Christmas and Happy New year 2021! (Feliz Navidad y Feliz año 2021)

NEWS FROM THE ATHLETIC OFFICE
WINTER WARRIORS! AD Miller here! Our winter sports teams are in the midst of a full schedule. Schedules are being crammed into a much smaller space than a usual year. The result? Lots of games and lots of schedule changes!
Curling is getting underway this week to join the other sports that are already in action. Alpine and Nordic Ski, Boys and Girls Hockey, Boys and Girls Basketball and Wrestling. Our skiers are making good showings on the hill and in the country and other teams are having very nice seasons. If you check the WVC Statics website at http://www.valleystats.org/ you can keep track of how our teams are doing. A couple of highlights are, an undefeated Girls Basketball team and a Wrestling team that fin- ished the dual season with big wins over Marshfield, Rapids, and SPASH. They will be heading into the regional tournament with high expectations.
Our competitive clubs are in virtual action. A highlight this month was the DECA district competi- tion. West had 34 competitors that placed in the top four of their event. They will be competing in the virtual state competition March 3-5.
All this the kids have done while wearing masks – trying so hard to keep socially distanced - staying home if not feeling well and patiently handling a quarantine if they were exposed. The West family is super proud of our kids and coaches for their perseverance, attitude, and effort as “pandemic athletes.”
There is a full tournament slate scheduled for the WIAA Tournament Series. The dates can be found on the WIAA website at www.wiaawi.org.
Be safe and “Be a Real Teammate.”
