About

What is CHS?

The Computing Honour Society (CHS) is a programme within Alterna that establishes student-led chapters at schools to deliver hyper-local technology education. Each chapter is run by a team of strategists who design and deliver programming tailored to their school and community.

CHS chapters provide workshops, mentorship, competition preparation, and community outreach - all led by students, for students. Our model ensures that tech education is not just accessible, but relevant and impactful at the local level.

Academic Strategist

Designs and delivers the chapter's educational curriculum, workshops, and learning resources.

Community Strategist
