Computer Science Clubs
App Development Club (LINK)
The App Development Club engages students who have prior knowledge about coding to create their own personal apps! Join us in learning the development process to make your own app and publish it for public use. Our meetings will be held in B203 in Ms. Bagherian’s classroom. Let’s put Computer Science to work!
Branham Robotics (LINK)
We are the Branham High School robotics team, AKA the Bionic Bruins
The Bionic Bruins are a competitive robotics team located in the San Francisco Bay Area. We introduce high-school students to the world of engineering and design through VEX Robotics.
Located at Branham High School in San Jose, California, the Branham Robotics Club was founded in 2013 and has grown ever since. The dedication by students and staff alike have continued to inspire students to discover robotics.
Rooted in mechanical engineering and computer science, we provide our members with life-long problem-solving skills and engineering knowledge. The Branham Robotics Club is an organization dedicated to bringing robotics to those who would never experience it otherwise- whether they are high school students or young children. Along with our competitions, we take pride in reaching out to other local schools and inspiring a life-long love of engineering in underserved and young students.

Club Overview
"We do a little coding"
If you like to code, or want to learn, this is the place for you! You can read about our activities below. Join our Discord server at https://discord.gg/6EtcRdC or visit our website at http://branhamcodes.com/!
Activities
Club Projects
Throughout the year we will brainstorm project ideas and decide which ones to do as a club. Projects will be open for contributions from all members in the form of GitHub pull requests. We like to explore new technologies and the projects usually result in us learning something new.
Past club projects can be viewed on GitHub. They're usually under one of a few accounts: mattfbacon or BranhamProgrammingClub
Competitive Programming
Many CS Club members have participated in various programming competitions and can share information with you about them. Additionally, you will get reminders for all of the major competitions through the Discord server.
Hackathons
Along with competitive programming we participate in Hackathons as they come, and give reminders for them as well.
Cybersecurity Club
Cybersecurity club will teach you how to hack through competitions, live demos, and hands-on labs. Each lesson will explain a real hacking technique, how to defend against it, and the relevant cybersecurity theory. Nothing we teach will be watered-down, and everything you learn can be applied in the real world (hopefully for good).

Data Science and Machine Learning Club (LINK)
We are Branham High School’s Data Science Club
We come together to chill and analyze data. We’ll do occasional projects that’ll have an impact on our community. We work with data and we’ll also learn about AI and Machine learning. Our club will work with software like Tableau and Python Pandas. We also teach the Wolfram language.
Game Design Club (LINK)
Game Design Club is meant for people to learn to create games from scratch. No experience is needed, as we'll try to teach all there is to know about game design. We'll be using GameMaker 2 to create games from scratch.
Girls Who Code (LINK)
Girls Who Code aims to introduce women to the worlds of technology and computer science and increase representation in those fields. We teach members how to code and expose them to coding culture. We provide the opportunity to learn a variety of coding languages such as JavaScript, Python, Java, and HTML, as well as participate in hackathons and create cool projects.
Every few meetings, we invite someone in the tech field to come and talk to us about their path and where they currently are. Past speakers include a cognitive science major at UC Berkeley, a Microsoft employee who talked about the basics of game design, and a Trustee from the CUHSD Board!
