+## BCIT Computing Club
+
+The BCIT Computing Club (CC) offers valuable guidance and events for all students interested in computing.
+
+The CC has brought events such as HTTPHacks Hackathon, Midterm/Final Reviews, and LeetCode nights to computing students.
+
+## Work
+
+Other Executives and I had taken the time to bundle, rework, and host CST Reviews for term 2 students midterms, as well as plans for finals reviews. Each of us taking on a single course to focus and providing example questions, quizies and guidence to large audiences.
+
+Additionally we are volunteering at the upcoming Hack the Break (March 13-15 2026), assisting with setup, teardown, and general staffing.
+
+## Why it mattered to me
+
+Before I officially joined the CC, I had attended my friends who are also executives giving a review session and guidence to students in a previous term. I had helped to answer some questions both one on one and to the larger audience as a whole. As well as hearing about all the hard work put into hosting the HTTPHack for students, I knew I wanted to join and further contribute to this amazing club and community.
+
+This has given me the chance to learning valuable lessons while volunteering in several events to help coordinate, setup and guide students to do their best.
