I’m a freshman CS major. I’ve always been really into Computers, video games, and just tech in general. A few years back I decided to teach myself how to program. I say that I taught myself programming very loosely as most of my learning came from the wonderful teachers and mentors I had around to help guide me through some tough spots. It’s this very environment that drew me towards both Mines and the PATHS program in the first place. Outside of school I love to spend time with my 6 younger siblings and improve my overall strength through powerlifting and BJJ. I’m really excited to get involved with CS@Mines and get to know all of my peers!

PATHS; a program that encapsulates this spirit of discovery, of companionship, leadership, and ultimately, helping each other move forward on our journeys. By the end, we'll have learned about each other, about our passions, and about this magnificent world of magic that we call technology. I've already set foot on my own path, witnessing the beyond through aerospace design, imagining the impossible through game development, and rendering my thoughts through artistic expression. My name is Nicholas Woodward, and I am glad to have found some other travelers to walk this journey with!
