gollark: Anyway, the school's CS education was not great and/or some people in the class were quite bad at it.
gollark: But having us looking at screens and occasionally typing would be too boring, so they just had us press random buttons on the Arduino handheld games-consoley things we got a while to work on, and type nonsense in.
gollark: <@!236831708354314240> There was one fun time where they wanted some video of "computer science" happening for a school promotional video.
gollark: Okay, so I can't find the actual computer CS science tests.
gollark: We can ship you to GTech™ Oort cloud facilities.
