00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,379
Unplugged Acivity - What is Computer Science

2
00:00:06,379 --> 00:00:09,610
What do you want to be when you grow up Olivia? um, an astronaut

3
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:13,670
Do you happen to know what a computer programmer is?

4
00:00:13,670 --> 00:00:17,430
yeah, um no. ummm, wait what?

5
00:00:17,430 --> 00:00:20,630
I'm not really sure how to explain it
computer programming is pretty simple

6
00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:24,160
it's a set of instructions like a recipe, you have to follow them

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,410
step-by-step to get the end result you want
computer science is

8
00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:31,560
is that its a way to impact the world

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,100
they can be music videos you can be
games detect whether or not someone

10
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:36,670
related to someone else you can

11
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:40,440
you know find people's friends you can
do all sorts of other crazy things that

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,659
actually save lives

13
00:00:41,659 --> 00:00:44,889
you do have to have a drive

14
00:00:44,889 --> 00:00:48,719
great programming to me is

15
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:52,530
not that dissimilar to great art

16
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,870
when I finally learned a little bit of
programming that that blank wall

17
00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:57,120
resolved into a bunch of doors

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,589
doors and you open them and of course
that the find

19
00:01:00,589 --> 00:01:03,760
behind them is another hallway filled
with a bunch of doors

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,409
programming is fun and easy, you can do whatever

21
00:01:07,409 --> 00:01:11,470
your mind wants to do finally you start
to open enough doors tthat the light comes in

22
00:01:11,470 --> 00:01:11,470


23
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:16,550
and to me a finished program is like a
structured filled with light

24
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:19,599
all the corners are illuminated. the number of
people you can

25
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:25,709
you can touch and interact with is something the world has never seen before

26
00:01:25,709 --> 00:01:29,218
are first lesson in this series is all about what

27
00:01:29,218 --> 00:01:32,759
what computer science is what a computer
scientist does

28
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:36,560
and how you can be more responsible use of 
technology

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,610
very important lesson but it is a little
text heavy

30
00:01:40,610 --> 00:01:45,209
but at the and you get to make your very
on customized encoding

31
00:01:45,209 --> 00:01:49,259
using your next it's a fun activity and
it's very empowering

32
00:01:49,259 --> 00:01:52,890
as binary is one other thing that feels
very technical

33
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:55,000
but once you understand it it's like you speak
a secret language
