The TAMS '''Computer Science Organization''' ('''CSO''') exposes students to the wide array of topics within computer science such as web development, cybersecurity, APIs, hardware, and much more! 

== Events ==

=== hackTAMS ===
[[hackTAMS]] is a hackathon organized by CSO. This event originally only allowed TAMS students to participate but has grown to become the largest free high school hackathon in DFW.

== Competitions ==
At the start of each semester, CSO holds a tryout for their CS competition teams. Usually, there are three advanced teams and two novice teams.

=== Seven Lakes ===

==== 2020-2021 ====

* [[Daniel Ting]] - 1st place in individual
* [[Joseph Li]], [[Hubert Yang]], and [[Ernest Lu]] - 3rd place in advanced

=== Battle of the Brains ===

==== 2020-2021 ====

* [[Joseph Li]], [[Hubert Yang]], and [[Ernest Lu]] - 2nd place in advanced

=== Frozen Eagle ===

==== 2020-2021 ====

* [[Daniel Ting]], [[Zhuoli Xie]], and [[Timothy Haynes]] - 3rd place in advanced

=== Lockheed Martin Cyberquest ===

=== ICPC North America Qualifer ===

=== HP CodeWars ===

== Committees ==
Unlike other clubs, CSO did not have many committees until 2020-2021. Each committee specializes in a specific niche of computer science or focuses on community service.

=== API Masters ===
Our vision is to serve and inspire the TAMS community and the greater Denton community by instructing and involving student developers in the use of APIs. We aim to spread information of APIs and cool API projects through a novel approach of “mini-thons,” which are miniature hackathons, an involved and encouraging Facebook community, and community outreach.

=== Cybersecurity ===
The TAMS CSO Cybersecurity Committee is here to introduce you to the fascinating world of computer security. We will be hosting theoretical and practical lessons as well as hands-on activities and competitions to develop skills in binary exploitation, reverse engineering, networking, digital forensics, and cryptography. Come and join if you would like to push the boundaries of your knowledge in computer science beyond what you are taught!

Cybersecurity was merged into CSO from the now defunct [[TAMS Cybersecurity Association]].

=== Hardware ===
The TAMS Hardware Committee aims to provide computer hardware related services to the TAMS community in the form of workshops and volunteering opportunities. As a CSO committee, we run hands on biweekly workshops where we teach concepts in digital logic, electrical engineering, and programming. We also run PCs2Prosper, a volunteering opportunity where you can sign up to refurbish and fix laptops and computers for people in need.

=== Missing Maps ===
Our mission is to help map areas where people in need live. Use satellite images to trace buildings, roadways, and other features in vulnerable areas. No computer science experience needed and completely beginner-friendly! Volunteering hours will be determined by the number of features mapped.

This committee was merged into the [[Computer Science Organization#Open Source|Open Source]] committee after 2021.
