Real Students, Real Stories
This week, HawkTalk features CSM alum Hassan Turay, who turned his passion for coding and robotics into opportunities to learn, lead, and inspire the next generation of STEM students.
Turay has always had a passion for coding and computers. At CSM, he took that interest to new heights as a computer science student, programmer on the Talons robotics team, and student-athlete. Through CSM's Work-Based Learning program, he also mentored young students through Purple Boot, teaching programming and robotics while helping them develop valuable life skills. From hands-on learning to helping others discover their potential, Turay found opportunities to grow both inside and outside the classroom.
