Where can I find online high school student opportunites for CS ?
As a high school student interested in comp sci, I have been searching for any kind of structured program for the summer like research or internships. I am only able to locate either over priced programs or programs that only accept specific demographics. I am from Wisconsin so there are no local opportunities near me. I plan on creating some solo projects in the summer, but a resume booster would be appreciated.

Does learning programming early help in the future?
Hello everyone, I am a high school student and I have recently become interested in programming. I have tried learning some languages such as Python and JavaScript, but I am still not sure if this is the right career path for space waves. I have a few questions and I hope those of you with experience can help me: Will learning programming now really help me in the future, even if I am not sure about pursuing this field? What skills besides programming should a good programmer have? Should I focus on one specific language or learn many languages at the same time? If I want to build a small project to practice, what ideas should I start with? I would love to hear advice from everyone. If anyone has experience learning programming early, please share your journey with me! Thanks a lot!

Should I choose Bioinformatics and what schoool to choose?
I read some articles that it is plausible to take bioinformatics even when a student didn't take biology classes (like me) BUT has a strong computer science background. As someone who wants to contribute to medical research, should I do it? I also see that Computational Biology / Bioinformatics curriculum is heavier on algorithm side. And what school should I choose? I am from Indonesia and looking for scholarship to study abroad.

How do you go about reading language documentation?
A common piece of advice given to understand and write code is to read the documentation or library. However, when I try to get started, there's a lot of information to get through and I don't know where to navigate to. Another related question is, is it better to read through the documentation to get the gist of the language for example python, or to refer back to whilst writing code?

How can I find a coach for a Career in CS/GIS?
I envision a GeoSpatial Data analyst working for a private company in need of my skills in Computer spatial Data extraction, analytics, and visualization spatial statistics, data visualization, and programming in Python With my analytical MS Office and Design skills, I seek to develop predictive models and create interactive maps for retail and disaster management industries. I am a student at a 4-year college studying Information Technology. To accomplish this, I graduated with a BS in Information Technology and a second BS in Computer Science/GIs with GIS certification, but I have little to no experience yet. I am seeking a mentor/professional to guide me in coaching for a career in integrating Geography, Data analytics, and Computer Science. The general consensus is that I am best suited for work in Government or non-profit organizations, but that is not where I like to be. Maps and Data brainstorming have been my passion, not so much Mathematics or statistics.
