I was born in Taipei, Taiwan and moved into the Southern California in 1st grade. Though my official first name is "Yi Ju", I usually go by "Rita". Since I am in "engineering-undeclared", I am interested in exploring the various fields of engineering and computer science. Math and science classes have always been my favorite subjects. Rather unsurprisingly, I am involved in my high school's Math Club and Science Olympiad team as the president for both.
I come from Shanghai, China. My legal name is Yiqiong Xu,but you can simply call me Nancy. I am now in the College of Letters and Science,with my major undeclared. I love travelling and getting to understand different people and their lives. I was once an exchange student at a famous high school in Paris,France and had a wonderful time exploring French culture. I am good at cooking Chinese dishes and hopefully you can have a try!
I have lived in Elk Grove, California for nearly my entire life. I was admitted into Berkeley’s College of Engineering as an EECS major. In high school, I was involved in Mathletes, Science Olympiad, and Art Club. Painting is my favorite pastime and my preferred medium is watercolor. (If Computer Science doesn’t work out for me, I’ll probably become a starving artist.)
I was born and raised in Shenyang, China. My Chinese name is “Huang Shiyun”, but you can simply call my English name, Jane. I plan to be an Economics and Applied Mathematics double major, but I may also add a computer science minor, if possible. I am really into economic theories; mathematical knowledge and computer skills would help me a lot in understanding and analyzing economic problems.
I was born in California, but I've lived in Iowa City, IA since preschool. I was admitted into the College of Letters & Sciences and hope to study computer science because of my interest in graphics and animation. My dream is to work for Pixar or become a Disney Imagineer. I’m obsessed with anything related to design, especially the Adobe Creative Suite. In high school, I designed for our magazine, “West Side Story.”
I was born and raised in the Bay Area my entire life. I was admitted into the College of Letters & Sciences, hoping to do a Computer Science and either a Psychology or Applied Math double major. I love to draw, so you'll probably catch me doodling during a lecture at least once. I am also a huge Nintendo fangirl; if any of you play Super Smash, I'd love to play you. I also play violin and would like to form a geeky quartet playing videogame soundtracks.
Hi! My name is Nina Partha, and I was recently admitted as an EECS major at UC Berkeley. I have always loved math, chem, and physics, and am very excited to expand my borders in these fields in EECS.

Hello everybody, I'm Amy and I am from Mission Viejo, a suburb in Orange County, California. I am an environmental engineering major but I am certainly open to exploring other fields in engineering. I have many interests and hobbies and some might even call me scatter brained. I was a synchronized swimmer for 5 years during high school and although I will not be continuing this at Cal I still love swimming, the beach and anything aquatic.
Hi everyone, I am Rachel from Singapore. I actually hold Malaysian passport but I have been in Singapore since 7th grade, so I consider myself 52% Singaporean, 48% Malaysian. I am currently in College of Engineering as Mechanical Engineering major but I will probably double major or switch major to EECS. At school, I have always enjoyed math and physics classes tremendously. I had experience with computing, but has never taken a computing class, so I really look forward to CS KickStart.
Coming all the way from the other side of the world, I’m Sangeetha – born and raised in Bahrain. I’m an EECS major and have always planned on being one since I was eleven and had taken a liking to the funny-looking triangular brackets when programming in HTML. Besides fiddling around with source codes and creating multi-coloured marquee scrolls, my other loves are Harry Potter, writing, books - especially hardbound ones with cracking spines- , photography, blogging, animals and dogs in particular, the smell of coffee, sunny days and dessert.
Hi everyone! My name is Ashleigh and I'm Filipino-American, born and raised in the Philippines. I attended an international school for thirteen years, and now I'm in the College of Letters and Science as an intended Computer Science major. I've been obsessed with computers and coding from a very young age (Neopets!), and since then it's become my dream to work for a company like Google or Blizzard (I'm a complete World of Warcraft geek). I'm also very interested in artificial intelligence, so it's likely that I'll add a double major in Cognitive Science.
My family calls me "hey you!" but everyone else just calls me "Deirdre" though some people have gotten a lot more creative than that. Although I was born in Manila, Philippines I'm a San Diegan at heart. My love for puzzles and mysteries developed my interests in math while this increasingly digital age has pleasantly pushed me into learning more about computers. As of now, I'm currently in the Letters and Science shooting for Business Administration at Haas but if that doesn't work out I'm planning on advancing my interests in Math.

Hey fellow CS Kickstarters! My name is Jane and I'm from right here in the Bay Area. Born and raised in San Diego, I moved to the Marin/San Francisco area in 1st grade and have been living here ever since. My intended major is economics/pre-business, but I am open to exploring my other academic interests for a second major or minor. I am also interested in studying languages and I plan on continuing to learn Spanish so that I can study abroad in Spain one day.
At heart, I'm an artist, but I recognize that I have other skills that could be honed in order to become a well-rounded individual; an individual who needs guidance to become both technically advanced as well as creative and thoughtful. In short, I think if I study computer science, I can meld the two fields together to create my own unique experience at Berkeley, and I believe this program can help me take a step in the right direction.
I'm from Santa Barbara, California, and I’m going to be a coming into Berkeley this year as a Bioengineering major. Compsci has always been a curiosity for me- I played around with Lego NXT Mindstorms when I helped mentor a FLL team, I’ve tried a few online programming tutorials, and I took AP Compsci this year for fun because I wanted to learn more. However, I've never really had the chance to fully learn a programming language, and I hope to take as many programming classes as I can to see if I'd like to possibly major/minor in compsci. Some cool things about me: This year, I was on First Robotics Team 1717 and helped design a mechanism that collected Frisbees off the floor for our robot, which was incredibly fun! Also, in my free time, I absolutely love being outdoors - rollerblading, rock climbing, and tennis being just a few of my favorite past times.
Hello fellow Bears! My name is Hailey Gordon, and I am from the lovely town of Bakersfield, CA (about two hours away from LA).

Hello, world! I’m from Los Altos, a cute and inexplicably sidewalk-less town about an hour southwest of Berkeley. I’m majoring in EECS in the College of Engineering this fall. I don’t have much programming experience, but I look forward to exploring the amazing possibilities of computers at CS KickStart so I can someday help design the next “game-changing” machines that revolutionize the way we think and live. I love baking, running, eating Nutella and Sriracha sauce (not at the same time!), balancing stuff on my head, and caterpillars, who are incredibly wise. I look forward to meeting all of you this August!
I have lived in the SF Bay Area all my life and could not be happier to continue living in such an amazing and cultured environment for the next four years. I plan to major in Applied Mathematics at Cal, but I recently became very interested in Computer Science after one of my best friends introduced me to the world of programming. While at UC Berkeley, I also hope that I can continue dancing. Ballet has been a passion of mine for 13 years and I almost declined college to pursue a professional career in dance. Yet after meeting some truly intelligent and enthusiastic people at UC Berkeley I knew that this is where I wanted to be. Hopefully the knowledge I gain through the Kickstart program will help me succeed in my CS classes at Cal and potentially lead me to become a CS major!
Hello! My name is Alanna and I come from Milpitas, CA, which is between San Jose and Fremont in the South Bay. I am an incoming EECS major with no programming experience at all, but I would love to learn about computer science through CS Kickstart! Although I enjoy math and the physical sciences a lot, I also have a deep passion for history, centered more on U.S. History. My hobbies include reading almost anything, painting with acrylic paint, watching TV and movies, and spending time with my younger brother. In high school, the activity I enjoyed the most was tutoring people in math. It is something that I plan to continue doing up at Cal! I look forward to having a great time at CS Kickstart and meeting other Cal Bears!
Hi! I'm Allison Yee from Chino Hills, born and raised in Southern California. I'm planning to major in Computer Science in the College of Letters and Sciences at Cal. In high school, I was heavily involved in FBLA and the Photography Club. I love anything related to technology and aesthetics, including all types of design and fashion. You can always catch me poring through blog updates on my RSS feed, escaping into a novel, or watching something on Netflix. I've also had fun playing around with CSS and making blog-type layouts, but I haven't really programmed - so I'm extremely glad and excited to be a part of CS KickStart!
Hey everyone!  I’ve spent my entire life in the North Reading but I’ve always wanted to move to California, so I’m really excited to attend UC Berkeley. I will be in the College of Letters & Sciences as an intended computer science major this fall. I don’t have much programming experience besides an introductory programming class I took in high school last year, but math has always been my favorite subject so hopefully that’s a start. And as for a little bit more about myself, I love music, coffee mugs, exploring new places, painting birdhouses, otters, dorky jokes, and playing tennis. I’m so appreciative of the opportunity that this program presents and I’m really excited to join the CS KickStart team!
I was born and raised in Iran but went to high school in Dubai. Ever since I was 13 I was fascinated by different areas of computer science especially artificial intelligence, because in Computer Science there is always room for growth. There is no limit to what you can do and where you can get to and that is what captured my interest. I am never able to put down a programming problem until I find the solution to it. Although computer science is the source of my fascination, I have many diverse interests. I began playing the piano at the age of 7.I play sports such as badminton and swimming from quite early in my life. One of my favorite hobbies is watching movies from different genres and different countries. I love meeting people from new countries and cultures so this program is a great opportunity for me to pursue my passion and meet people who share this passion with me.
Hello, my name is Tanya and I am an upcoming EECS major. In high school, I was an active part of my school's orchestra and badminton team. I also sang Indian Classical Music, was part of an exchange program through which I went to Japan, and taught math in Kumon. I have always been interested in computers, so I decided to enter this field, but I ultimately hope to be a woman pioneer in the tech industry. Through this program, I hope to meet other CS/EECS majors and form a bond that will last my college years and more.
Hey! I'm Lorraina but everyone calls me Rainy, I'm from a little cow town in the valley and am going to study Computer Science. I'm super excited to get involved in the LGBT community and to meet new people in college. Go Bears!
I come from Los Angeles, where the weather is almost always perfect. I was admitted into the College of Letters & Sciences as an Undeclared major but I am considering a major in Economics with a minor in Computer Science. Although I have no experience in CS, I am very much excited about this program. I love going out with friends and hope to meet many new ones at this program.

Hello everyone. My name is Irene and I am from South Korea. I was admitted to L&S undeclared(pre-haas) but now hope to major in computer science or/and applied mathematics. I don't have any programming experience except that I am taking a course over the summer. I also love playing instruments especially piano. Oh I also love shopping. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning more about the community!
I was born and raised in Texas, but I'm so excited to be a Cal bear in the fall! I enjoy playing around with any kind of programming/technology, so I think the CS major is perfect for me. I also love playing ultimate frisbee and volleyball with my friends. Go Bears! :)
Three truths and a lie: I can have eccentric tastes and a wicked and sideways sense of humor. I enjoy the humanities and sciences alike, and look forward to wandering the gamut in the College of Letters and Sciences. I have dabbled in the area of computer science before, but CS Kickstart will be the first time I’ve actually taken a class. I’m a woman of many mysteries.
Hey I'm Rachel Zhang! I've lived in Santa Cruz, CA all my life. If you guessed I'm openminded and say "dude", you're right. I love meeting new people and having interesting discussions so feel free to chat any time! I'll be an Engineering Physics major--if you know any other freshmen women in this major, please let me know (too much testosterone now...)! Other than copying and pasting code for an Arduino project in school, this will be my only CS experience so far, but I'm definitely excited! I love music, movies, tennis, leisurely hikes, and amusement parks. Somethings cool about me..hmmm...well this is kind of nerdy but I create really quirky mnemonic devices and love constitutional law (go Mock Trial pre-trial!). Can't wait to meet all of you :D
Hi! I'm from a small coastal town in central California called Morro Bay. I really dig gardening (puns), music, and creating art. My favorite bands are Angels & Airwaves, the Gorillaz, and Vampire Weekend. I love science fiction and watching films. Any film. I will watch it. I'm looking into CS because I know how versatile it is. My interests are incredibly broad so I wanted to explore a subject that could potentially flow into all of the things I'm curious about, things which include space, the environment, filmmaking, art, and biology. I also absolutely love to travel (my favorite two places that I have ever been are Scotland and the Galapagos). Can't wait to be a Bear!
Hi everyone! My name is Jenna and I'm from Sacramento. I'm super excited to be attending CS Kickstart and meeting other girls interested in the field of computer science especially at my number one dream school, UC Berkeley! At first I was scared of going into computer science because of my lack of experience in programming, but I knew that my interest in software engineering should overcome my fear. Some little things about me are that I'm very social. My favorite color is mint and my favorite TV shows are The Office, Parks and Rec, Greek, and Modern Family. I love to play volleyball and occasionally tennis, and I'm planning on starting yoga once I get to college. One interesting thing about me is probably that I have the biggest appetite known to mankind, which is a blessing and a curse. All in all, I am so excited to start off my college experience with a program like CS Kickstart!
Hello! I'm from the Monterey, CA area and I'm very excited to be attending Berkeley next year as a possible Computer Science and Theater major in the College of Letters & Sciences.

I love theater, vocal music, and filmmaking and my favorite TV shows are The Office, Parks and Recreation, and Orange Is the New Black. Can't wait to meet you all!
Hi! I'm Sreesha and I'm from New Providence, NJ. This fall I'll be entering the College of Letters & Sciences as an intended Computer Science major. I've lived in New Jersey my entire life, so moving across the country to California is going to be a big change, but I'm excited to see what opportunities it brings. Being part of CS Kickstart should make the transition a little easier though, especially because it'll give me the chance to meet other students before the school year starts!
Hi! I'm Jamie Ni and I'm from SoCal! I will be majoring in Computer Science in the College of Letters and Science. I am extremely excited to attend Cal this fall. GO BEARS! I have always been interested in technology, especially the software side of it, so I thought that CS is a great major for me. I love listening to music, especially alternative, rock pop, and pop. A few of my favorites are The Script, Bastille, ATL, Sara Bareilles, and so much more! I'm really excited to meet all of you this fall!
Hey everyone! I'm an EECS major from Morgan Hill, CA, which is just south of San Jose. I enjoy playing softball, watching Netflix, listening to music (anything from Ed Sheeran to twenty one pilots to The Strokes) and going to Giants games! I've always been interested in computer science but never had the opportunity to learn more about it, which makes all of this so much more exciting. I'm really looking forward to meeting new people and experiencing all Berkeley has to offer!
Hi! My name is Sabrina Fathi, and I'm from Casablanca, Morocco. I spent my senior year studying abroad in Massachusetts, and I cannot express how excited I am to be spending the next four years far from New England snowstorms. As you can tell, I'm not a winter person, and coming from a country where the Mediterranean climate keeps you warm all year round, I've always indulged in outdoor activities such as paddle boarding, horseback riding (You can always find me riding at the barn near my house), and playing tennis. I'm really interested in CS because I truly find it fascinating, and I see myself always pushing the limits of technology when I've graduated. I'm pretty much glued to my computer half the time, programming a bit, and watching one of the many, many TV shows I'm addicted to.
Hello! I’m from Santa Clarita, a suburb north of Los Angeles. I’m an intended Computer Science and Psychology major. Computers and the Internet helped me branch out from a shy and timid child, and I hope my contributions to computer science aid in inspiring a new generation of children. In addition, I love that the field is versatile and that I can incorporate it with my interests, which include psychology, baking, community service and design. I also enjoy exploring, ice skating, being environmentally friendly, and watching documentaries! I look forward to getting to know about everyone’s goals and ambitions, and to participate in this wonderful program!
Hey guys, I'm Alice from the beautiful Monterey Bay, California. I'm aiming for an L&S CS major but I don't have much experience in computers or coding except for a few self-learning attempts and HTML/CSS from Tumblr so I'm thankful for any help I get! I enjoy math/logic problem solving and hopefully computer science will be a possible future career. Some things about me? I love animals, especially cats, I got 2 of them at home. I am an avid listener of all genres of music from Kpop to alternative rock. I love playing video games.. like League of Legends and watching anime.. shamelessly it almost becomes a lifestyle. When I'm not glued to the computer screen, I play piano for fun or go for a run or swim. I am really excited to attend Cal and meet all of you this Fall!
I'm from Cupertino, California (Yup, Apple Headquarters) and hope to major in Computer Science or Applied Mathematics at Cal. Although I’ve been painting for as long as I can remember, I recently started playing around with 3-D modeling and graphics softwares such as Autodesk Maya and Blender. Seeing their applications intersect with what I’ve learned in calculus, physics, and Java first sparked my interest in computer science, especially computer graphics. I also play the violin, am a big fan of Thai food, and love climbing onto my roof to look at stars. I'm so excited to start my freshman year with CS Kickstart—I've heard lots of great things about the program and can't wait to meet everyone!
I am from Santa Barbara, a small beach town on the California coast, and will be attending Berkeley as an Electrical Engineering and Computer Science major. EECS is such a new field and I am excited by the possibilities of where it could go. I have been playing piano since I was four, so it’s safe to say music has been a huge part of my life, whether it be classical music (my favorite period is the Romantic Period) or modern music (Vampire Weekend, AWOLNATION, and Lily Allen are some of my favorite artists). In high school, I became engrossed in mock trial, and I hope to continue mock trial at Berkeley. I love rollercoasters, frozen yogurt, and going to the beach.
Hi there! I'm Saloni! I was born and raised in the Bay Area, so naturally, my proximity to Silicon Valley has exposed me to technology at a young age. I'm excited to major in Computer Science because of the endless possibilities the field has to offer. I have some experience with programming, but nothing too advanced. I'm looking forward to CS KickStart, meeting fellow bears and expanding my CS knowledge.
Well, my name is Divine Velasquez. I am from Garfield High School, which is located in East Los Angeles. I am not the most outgoing person, but I do enjoy having long, random conversations about anything that is NOT politics. My hobbies include playing volleyball, drinking an exaggerating amount of water, making witty remarks, drawing, napping, and spending an unacceptable amount of time on the computer browsing the web and watching random cat videos on YouTube. As far as my CS background, I don’t have one, but I am eager to start my CS journey with CS Kickstart! ?
Hi everyone! My name is Elaine and I’m from Mountain View, California. You’ll often find me coming up with (semi-bad) puns, watching Ellen videos on YouTube, and racing in Mario Kart as the coolest driver Yoshi. I’ve been doing Chinese dance since first grade and hope to continue dancing in college (for fun). Regarding academics, I’ll be in UC Berkeley’s College of Letters & Science, where I’m excited to learn new things. Recently I’ve become particularly interested in Computer Science, as it seems to offer endless possibilities for creating things that help our world or are just awesome. I don’t have much Computer Science experience, so hopefully I can learn more about the field and develop some programming skills at CS KickStart. Overall, I’m excited to attend the program and look forward to meeting you all! Go Bears!
Hey, everyone! I'm Quinn, from Westminster, California, near Huntington Beach. I'm interested in computer science because I've grown up with a passion for building structures and would love to do the same in a possible career.  I've only started coding senior year in Java and fell in love with it as soon as my programs didn't work. My hobbies include swimming, watching tv, fashion and cosplay. I've cosplayed Nightingale from Skyrim, Yuna from Final Fantasy X, and a wizard from Diablo III (currently). My favorite tv shows are Hannibal, Supernatural, and Parks and Recreation. I'm excited to meet everyone!
Born in the Bay Area, raised in drizzly Washington. My interest in technology started young, but has only developed recently through classes in Java and cryptography. In 2012, I participated in a summer cryptography program at Stanford University. There, I had my first brush with proofs and coding. I walked out of the program knowing that I needed to learn Java or Python ASAP. In these coming years, I hope to study Applied Mathematics and/or Computer Science.
I'm Allyson O'Malley and although I was born in California, I spent the majority of my life moving around because of my Dad's work. First Connecticut, then Australia, then DC, Kentucky, Spain and finally back to Newport Beach. In my spare time I enjoy surfing, learning foreign languages, and going to concerts. I have had an interest in computers and programming since I was little and have always hoped that I would attend UC Berkeley one day! I am so excited to experience CS Kickstart, meet new people with similar interests, and major in CS in L&S!
Greetings from Valencia, California! I'm a future L&S student looking to couple a major in Computer Science with possibly a minor in the Practice of Art. I don't have much experience with programming, but ever since job shadowing at Disney Animation Studios, I've been fascinated with computer graphics and animation. My dream is to return to the studio one day and work there myself. You can find me singing with guitar on hand, binge watching movies, making art, looking for a caffeine fix, or exploring niches and new places in an attempt satisfy my chronic wanderlust. I like turtles and look forward to meeting you all. GO BEARS!
Hi everyone! I'm Tina from Southern California. I'm currently undecided in the College of Letters and Science, but I'm interested in pursuing a major in computer science or economics. I have pretty limited programming experience, but I'm excited to learn from CS Kickstart and from my time at Berkeley! In my free time, I like to hike, collect stationery, and watch Grey's Anatomy. I'm looking forward to meeting all of you! :-)
RAWR Cal bears! I am Katharine, greeting you from Oakland, California (few minutes drive away from Berkeley)! I am interested in applied mathematics, architecture, politics, and environmental protection, which is no wonder I can't decide on a major. Now I am about to add computer science to the list. I have no experience with computer programming, but I am psyched to participate in CS KickStart. I use Google and my phone apps everyday without understanding how they were created. I want to understand programming and computers overall through CS KickStart. I love to read manga, watch criminal shows and cartoons, listen to dubstep, doodle, bake sweets, and eat. Fun Fact: I'm a leap year baby! Can't wait to meet you fellow bears! :D
Hi! My name is Nancy Chang and I'm from Cupertino, California. Yes, "hella" does occasionally appear in my vocabulary, and I have a crazy obsession with pearl milk tea and dogs. I just recently became interested in CS because I realized how much bigger the world becomes when you have access to computer knowledge. I'm planning to major in Computer Science in the College of Letters and Sciences. Along with the many hours of studying Berkeley will surely require, in my free time, I plan on continuing my passion for bhangra, a Punjabi folk dance, playing badminton, sewing and fashion design. Something interesting about me, I guess, is that I'm exactly 5 ft tall, so I like to wear really high heels to make up for my height! The only experience I have with CS is the few lessons I took on codecademy.com so I'm looking forward to everything the CS Kickstart program has to offer!
Hello everyone! My name is Chrystabelle Ramirez and I am from the Palm Springs area. This fall I have intended to double major in Computer Science and Spanish Literature. I love to dance and go out on adventures, whether its hiking and exploring or trying a new restaurant I love experiencing new things! I have no programming experience but I am eager to learn and meet people with a commom interest!
Hey everyone! I'm Grace, from Mill Valley in the SF Bay Area, and I'm an incoming EECS major. I'm interested in CS because I love creative problem-solving, math, and physics, but apart from the odd HTML editing for tumblr themes I have very little programming experience. I love drawing, both with a pencil and digitally through Photoshop, and I tend to doodle on things that aren't supposed to be drawn on. I also like reading (basically anything, but I love sci-fi/fantasy), Netflix, Comic-con, Tegan and Sara, and run-on sentences. Looking forward to meeting you all :)
I am excited beyond words to be able to be awarded this incredible opportunity. Coming from San Gabriel in SoCal, my main interests were in the arts and languages, right until I took one Web Programing class that ignited my interest in CS. It wasn't until now however that I have really gotten the chance to pursue that interest. As the first in my family to go to college its difficult to take a deep breath and plunge into fields that for one, I haven't had much experience in, but mainly, don't quite resonate as they aren't predominately women or much less hispanic. I hope at CS Kickstart I will find that solidifying realization that CS is definitely for me and that I will build a foundation that will keep me a strong CS contender in my years at Cal.
Lived in sunny San Diego all my life, so I can't wait for the Berkeley weather! I'm an EECS major, but I love the arts as well - I play violin with a number of groups, and hope to become fluent in another language and study abroad my junior year. In fact, I'll be in Japan until the 21st of July! I'm also a cat person, so if any of you want to hit up a San Francisco Cat Cafe, you know who to call.
Hi! I’m Judith from San Jose, California. I grew up in Portland, Oregon and I moved to the Bay Area a few years ago. I’m an incoming EECS major without much programming experience, but computer science fascinates me because of its applications to graphics and design. I also have an affinity for foreign languages and I hope to explore linguistics during college. In my free time, I enjoy long distance running and arts and crafts. Sewing is one of my biggest passions and I like to refashion and design my own clothes. I look forward to meeting you all!
Hi! I'm Tracy. I'm from Fremont, California and I am an EECS major. I became interested in computer science after I attended a video game design summer program four years ago. Although my experience in programming is very limited, I am excited to be explore my interests through kickstart and learn more about the field of computer science! In my spare time, I like to visit new places and try out new restaurants. I also love to sing, travel, and meet new people. I look forward to meeting everyone this fall!
Hi! I'm Jenny and I hail from sunny San Diego, California. I'm beyond excited to enter Cal this fall as an EECS major as I've always been enamored with technology and how it impacts our society. With the endless possibilities that come with computer science, I hope to continue expanding my programming knowledge and build some awesome projects. Currently, I'm especially interested in augmented reality devices like Google Glass and their effect on the way we interact with each other and the world around us. In addition to communicating in the language of computers, I also love writing and storytelling in all forms of media, from music to graphic design to film. I'm eager to explore the artistic as well as the technical side of CS and can't wait to see what Cal has to offer. Go Bears!
Hi, my name is Ivette Flores and I come from a small school in Inglewood, California. I've lived in Southern California my whole life and have an aversion to the cold. I'm not 100% on my major, but I'm leaning very strongly towards CS. My hobbies include watching Teen Wolf, spending way too much time on tumblr, reading, and playing tennis.
Hello everyone! My name is Melody, and I am from San Jose, CA. I have always considered myself a STEM girl ever since I started playing Internet games (e.g. Club Penguin and Neopets) when I was little. From then on, I continued to develop my interests in math and technology throughout middle and high school. During senior year, I took an introductory computer science class, which sparked my interest in programming and designing software. Although I only have limited experience with HTML/CSS and JavaScript, I can’t wait to expand my CS knowledge at UC Berkeley, starting with CS KickStart. Outside of STEM, I was very active in Key Club, a community service organization, and I would love to continue volunteering throughout college. I also live up to my name, since I enjoy playing piano and participating in my church’s youth choir.
Hi everyone! I'm from Fremont, California, and I’m going to be a coming into Berkeley this year as a EECS major. I don’t have much programming experience but I’ve always thought that computer science would be an introduction into an exciting and abstract way of reasoning. In high school, I’ve been actively involved in Speech and Debate and DECA, which is a business and marketing club. I’m interested in public policy as well, especially the intersection of government and science as it pertains to national security. At Berkeley, I hope to join the Ultimate Frisbee team and audition for the Mock Trial team. Some of my favorite TV shows include Psych, The West Wing, and House of Cards. I’m incredibly excited to be starting off my Berkeley experience with KickStart!
Hi! My name is Deborah, and I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area. I will be in the College of Letters & Science this fall, where I plan to major in Cognitive Science, and possibly double major in Computer Science. Computer science interests me because of its versatility—how it can be used in so many different fields. I hope that by gaining computer science skills I will have the ability to work in and explore many different subjects and disciplines. My other interests include reading (especially novels, manga, and news articles), human geography, learning new languages, playing piano, singing, watching movies (particularly espionage movies), and cooking. I’m really excited for CS Kickstart and UC Berkeley, and I look forward to meeting everyone!
Mavey (MAY-vee), 17 years old. Born within San Jose, raised by San Francisco, China, New Zealand, Oakland, San Leandro, Salinas, and now expanding my horizons at Berkeley. Some life goals include making Computer Psychology a “real” major, joining the Google team, and studying abroad in outer space. Would you believe me if I told you I was more excited when I learned about CS Kickstart than I was when I received my UC Berkeley acceptance letter? Computer science is like martial arts and poetry; self-defense and self-expression. I feel like a superhero in training to save the world, acquiring the ability to defend myself and others in the technological universe. I think my fondness of poetry enhances my curiosity for coding. They are cousins in writing, requiring muse, creativity, and overcoming writer’s block. As a wordsmith of both worlds, it makes me happy to practice an art form I enjoy.
Hello, my name is Karen. I'm from Bakersfield, CA. I am EECS major with some interest in double majoring applied mathematics. I am intrigued by computer science because I believe how computer works somehow correlates to how the world works. Plus I like the title "Hacker" (not I want to be involved in privacy infiltrating, Hacker just sound cool). I read more about computer history than work on programming. I play video games, watch cartoons/anime (Avatar TLA,FMA Brotherhood...), and I am a big fan of Chinese history/Wuxia Universe.
Hello lovely people! I am from a not so far off land called Murrieta, which is right in between San Diego and Los Angeles in SoCal. Currently I am in the College of Engineering, but I am undeclared so I am hoping CS Kickstart will provide me with some clarity. I also have no programming experience whatsoever, but I am ready to jump in head first. Some of my favorite things are cookie dough ice cream, long walks on the beach, and Led Zeppelin. I also play alto saxophone and have an undying love for Mock Trial. For now, I am just stoked to meet you all! Go Bears!
Since we can’t go through wormholes or black holes just yet, let’s build the future the realistic way, code by code. Excuse me, I’m “a little” obsessed with cosmology that kind of stuff: time travel, higher dimension, and multi-universe… Besides being a cosmo-worm, I also love dancing. Mainly ballet, but I also like hip-hop, jazz, and ballroom. I believe that the road to the future is paved by CS, that’s how important CS is. I might look quiet, but you can tell me if that’s how I really am once you get to know me.

A token representing an operator in the high-level language.
The token knows how to print itself and other syntax information like precedence level and associativity within the language, desired spacing, and how operator groups its input expressions. Note that an operator has a broader meaning than just p-code operators in this context.

Nottingham is a city in central England’s Midlands region. It’s known for its role in the Robin Hood legend and for the hilltop Nottingham Castle Museum and Art Gallery, rebuilt many times since the medieval era. In the Lace Market area, once the centre of the world’s lace industry, the Galleries of Justice Museum has crime-related exhibits. Wollaton Hall is an ornate Elizabethan mansion with gardens and a deer park.
The city is located in the heart of England, in the East Midlands, and is neighboured by two other large cities; Leicester and Derby. As one of the Core Cities, Nottingham is a leader in the region, and has influence over the two other cities, and the surrounding borough authorities. Nottingham city has a population of 310,800 however its economic influence stretches beyond the city boundaries into neighbouring district Councils. The Greater Nottingham city region has a population estimated to be nearly 795,200 and the workforce around 521,000.
City of Caves is a visitor attraction in Nottingham based on a network of caves, carved out of sandstone that have been variously used over the years as a tannery, public house cellars, and as an air raid shelter. The caves are listed as a scheduled monument by Historic England under the name Caves at Drury Hill, Drury Hill being the medieval street under which they were formerly located until it was demolished to make way for the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre. The newer City of Caves name refers to the fact that the city of Nottingham has hundreds of man-made caves, which have been in use for over a thousand years. The City of Caves was accessed from the upper level of the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre but can currently be accessed from Garner's Hill due to construction works in the Broadmarsh Centre, scheduled to finish in 2021.
Nottingham Castle is located on a natural promontory known as "Castle Rock" cliffs 130 feet high. In the Middle Ages it was a major royal fortress and occasional royal residence. While King Richard I ("the Lionheart") was away on the Third Crusade, along with a great number of English noblemen, Nottingham Castle was occupied by supporters of Prince John, including the Sheriff of Nottingham. In the legends of Robin Hood, Nottingham Castle is the scene of the final showdown between the Sheriff and the heroic outlaw. In March 1194, an historic battle took place at Nottingham Castle, part of the returned King Richard's campaign to put down the rebellion of Prince John. The castle was the site of a decisive attack when King Richard besieged it after constructing some siege machines. The castle surrendered after just a few days.
Shortly before his 18th birthday, King Edward III, with the help of a few trusted companions led by Sir William Montagu, staged a coup d'état at Nottingham Castle (19 October 1330) against his mother Isabella of France, and her lover, Roger Mortimer, 1st Earl of March. William Montagu and his companions were accompanied by William Eland, castellan and overseer of Mortimer's castle, who knew the location of a secret tunnel which would take them higher up in the castle to a normally locked door. In the dark of night on 19 October 1330, Montagu and his companions entered the tunnel, climbed up to the door, which had now been unlocked either by Edward III or a trusted servant, and overpowered Mortimer, killing Mortimer's personal guards. Mortimer was bound and gagged, led out of the tunnel and arrested, along with Queen Mother Isabella. Mortimer was sent to the Tower of London and hanged a month later.
The castle was in decline by the 16th century, it was largely demolished in 1649 during the civil war. The Duke of Newcastle later built a mansion on the site, which was burnt down by rioters in 1831 and left as a ruin. It was later rebuilt to house an art gallery and museum, which remain in use. Little of the original castle survives, but sufficient portions remain to give an impression of the layout of the site.
The National Justice Museum is an independent museum on High Pavement in the Lace Market area of Nottingham, England. The museum is housed in what was once a Victorian courtroom, gaol and police station, and is therefore a historic site where an individual could be arrested, sentenced and executed. The courtrooms date back to the 14th century and the gaol to at least 1449. The building is a Grade II* listed building and the museum is a registered charity.
Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan country house of the 1580s standing on a small but prominent hill in Wollaton Park, Nottingham, England. The house is now Nottingham Natural History Museum, with Nottingham Industrial Museum in the outbuildings. The surrounding parkland has a herd of deer and is regularly used for large-scale outdoor events such as rock concerts, sporting events and festivals. Wollaton Hall was built between 1580 and 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby and is believed to be designed by the Elizabethan architect, Robert Smythson, who had by then completed Longleat, and was to go on to design Hardwick Hall. The general plan of Wollaton is comparable to these, and was widely adopted for other houses, but the exuberant decoration of Wollaton is distinctive, and it is possible that Willoughby played some part in creating it.
Newstead Abbey, in Nottinghamshire, England, was formerly an Augustinian priory. Converted to a domestic home following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it is now best known as the ancestral home of Lord Byron.
Green’s Windmill is a restored and working 19th century tower windmill in Sneinton, Nottingham. Built in the early 1800s by baker George Green. It is located on the site of a previous post mill and there were at least two other mills on Windmill Lane in Sneinton. In 1829 the elder Green died and his son, the mathematical physicist George Green, inherited the mill. , it remained in use until the 1860s. It was renovated in the 1980s and is now part of a science centre, which together have become a local tourist attraction.
The Church of St Mary the Virgin is the oldest religious foundation in the City of Nottingham, England, the largest church after the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Nottingham and the largest mediaeval building in the city. The church is Grade I listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest. It is one of only five Grade I listed buildings in the City of Nottingham. It is situated on High Pavement at the heart of the historic Lace Market district and is also known as St Mary's in the Lace Market. It is a member of the Greater Churches Group, and part of the parish of All Saints', St Mary's and St Peter's, Nottingham.
Trent Bridge is a cricket ground mostly used for Test, One-Day International and county cricket located in West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, England, just across the River Trent from the city of Nottingham. Trent Bridge was first used as a cricket ground in the 1830s. The first recorded cricket match was held on an area behind the Trent Bridge Inn in 1838. Trent Bridge is also the headquarters of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. As well as international cricket and Nottinghamshire's home games, the ground has hosted the Finals Day of the Twenty20 Cup twice and will host the final of the One-Day Cup between 2020 and 2024. In 2009, the ground was used for the ICC World Twenty20 and hosted the semi-final between South Africa and Pakistan. The site takes its name from the nearby main bridge over the Trent river.

This campaign was designed in collaboration with Tammo Fouad.


edgarWebR provides an interface to access the SEC’s EDGAR system for company financial filings.
edgarWebR does not provide any functionality to extract financial data or other information from filings, only the metadata and company information. For processing of the financial data.
The EDGAR System provides a number of tools for filing and entity lookup and examination. As of v1.0, edgarWebR supports all public search and browse interfaces.
Search Interfaces:
Once a filing is found via any of the above, there are a number of functions to process the result -
filing_documents()
filing_filers()
filing_funds()
filing_information()
filing_details()
- returns all 4 of the filing components in a list.While edgarWebR is primarily focused on providing an interface to the online SEC tools, there are a few activities for handling filing documents for which no current tools exist.
parse_submission()
- takes a full submission SGML document and parses out component documents. Most of the time, the documents of interest in a particular submission will be online and accessible via filing_documents()
- this function is to unpack the raw submission to get all the documents. You may also find it more efficient if you’re regularly downloading all of the files in a given submission.parse_filing()
- Takes a HTML narrative filing and annotates each paragraph with item and part numbers.There is one dataset provided with edgarWebR - sic_codes
, providing a catalog of SIC codes and their hierarchy.
There are also a number of utility functions to help construct useful URL’s once you have a company CIK, submission accession number or specific file.
company_href()
for linking to the company pagesubmission_index_href()
and its family of related functions for linking to a specific submission and file.edgarWebR is available from CRAN, so can be simply installed via
install.packages("edgarWebR")

Installation¶
# install the latest release
pip install twitter-ads-v2
Quick Start¶
import twitter_ads_v2
CONSUMER_KEY = 'your consumer key'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'your consumer secret'
ACCESS_TOKEN = 'access token'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'access token secret'
ACCOUNT_ID = 'account id'
client = twitter_ads_v2.Client(
ACCOUNT_ID,
CONSUMER_KEY,
CONSUMER_SECRET,
ACCESS_TOKEN,
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET,
options={
'handle_rate_limit': True
}
)
# index
data = client.campaigns('all')
print(data.headers)
print(data.body)
# show
data = client.campaigns('load', id='campaign_id')
print(data.headers)
print(data.body)
tweets = client.promoted_tweets('all')
# iterate over until the cursor ("next_cursor") is exhausted
for i in tweets:
print(i.headers)
print(i.body)
Types of endpoint_type
¶
To provide a consistent interface, the first parameter of each API method is always endpoint_type
:
data = client.campaigns('load', id='campaign_id')
in the above example, load
is the endpoint_type
of this call. The terms of each endpoint_type
are described below.
|
description |
HTTP method |
|---|---|---|
|
Retrieve *all* or **some*_ of the entities’ details depends on the request parameters from an index endpoint (i.e., most index endpoints have a parameter that can scope the results). |
GET |
|
Retrieve a *specific_ entity details from a show endpoint (i.e., most show endpoints require an entity id to retrieve as part of resource URI). |
GET |
|
Create a new entity. |
POST |
|
Update a specific entity. |
PUT |
|
Delete a specific entity. |
DELETE |
|
Create/Update/Delete entities depends on the POST body data (normally a JSON object). |
POST |
Request Parameters¶
All request parameters except endpoint_type
as mentioned above should be passed as keyword arguments.
Rate-limit handling and request retry¶
