Brentwood High School Students Compete at PA High School Computer Fair By Julianna Winkowski After preparing for months, Brentwood High School students Rachel Milcic, Julianna Winkowski and Ian Kunesky brought their projects to the Carnegie Science Center to compete against other high school students in the Allegheny County area for the PA Regional High School Computer Fair. Milcic’s project was a website for Brentwood’s cross country team for the Web Page Design category. She included photos and videos of the team, a meet schedule and individual runners’ times on the site. A Twitter page was linked to the site as well. Milcic said, “Without my great, dysfunctional team, I would not have had the inspiration to create my website. Winning was an unexpected outcome, but it was great that my project could present itself and do this well.” Milcic’s website ended up placing first, enabling her to move on to the state competition held in May at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA. Winkowski and Kunesky designed a website together for the Web Page Design category to showcase the S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art and math) based opportunities at 76 Brentwood-Baldwin-Whitehall Brentwood High School. The information on their site included course and competition descriptions, enrichment opportunities and images. Winkowski and Kunesky’s website placed second. Winkowski also created a logo for the Computer Fair Logo category. Her logo was in the shape of a computer screen and featured an outline of Pennsylvania and the keystone symbol. She placed third in her category. If you are interested in viewing either of the websites the addresses are http://brentwood-xc.weebly.com/ and http:// brentwoodsteam.weebly.com/.
