Unplugged Acivity - What is Computer Science

00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:09.610
What do you want to be when you grow up Olivia? um, an astronaut

00:00:09.610 --> 00:00:13.670
Do you happen to know what a computer programmer is?

00:00:13.670 --> 00:00:17.430
yeah, um no. ummm, wait what?

00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:20.630
I'm not really sure how to explain it
computer programming is pretty simple

00:00:20.630 --> 00:00:24.160
it's a set of instructions like a recipe, you have to follow them

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.410
step-by-step to get the end result you want
computer science is

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:31.560
is that its a way to impact the world

00:00:31.560 --> 00:00:35.100
they can be music videos you can be
games detect whether or not someone

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:36.670
related to someone else you can

00:00:36.670 --> 00:00:40.440
you know find people's friends you can
do all sorts of other crazy things that

00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:41.659
actually save lives

00:00:41.659 --> 00:00:44.889
you do have to have a drive

00:00:44.889 --> 00:00:48.719
great programming to me is

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.530
not that dissimilar to great art

00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:55.870
when I finally learned a little bit of
programming that that blank wall

00:00:55.870 --> 00:00:57.120
resolved into a bunch of doors

00:00:57.120 --> 00:01:00.589
doors and you open them and of course
that the find

00:01:00.589 --> 00:01:03.760
behind them is another hallway filled
with a bunch of doors

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:07.409
programming is fun and easy, you can do whatever

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

00:01:11.470 --> 00:01:11.470


00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:16.550
and to me a finished program is like a
structured filled with light

00:01:16.550 --> 00:01:19.599
all the corners are illuminated. the number of
people you can

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.709
you can touch and interact with is something the world has never seen before

00:01:25.709 --> 00:01:29.218
are first lesson in this series is all about what

00:01:29.218 --> 00:01:32.759
what computer science is what a computer
scientist does

00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:36.560
and how you can be more responsible use of 
technology

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.610
very important lesson but it is a little
text heavy

00:01:40.610 --> 00:01:45.209
but at the and you get to make your very
on customized encoding

00:01:45.209 --> 00:01:49.259
using your next it's a fun activity and
it's very empowering

00:01:49.259 --> 00:01:52.890
as binary is one other thing that feels
very technical

00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:55.000
but once you understand it it's like you speak
a secret language
