What do you want to be when you grow up Olivia? Umm, an astronaut! Do you happen to know what
-
a computer programmer is? Yeahh, umm, no. Umm, what what? I'm not really sure how to
-
explain it. Computer programming is pretty simple. It's a set of instructions, like a
-
recipe. You have to follow them step by step to get the end result you want. Computer science
-
is a way to impact the world. It can be music videos, it can be games, detect whether or
-
not someone is related to someone else. Find you know, people's friends. You can do all
-
sorts of other crazy things that actually save lives. You do have to have a drive I
-
think. It is to me like a paintbrush. I think great programming is not all that dissimilar
-
from great art. When I finally learned a little bit of programming, that blank wall resolved
-
into a bunch of doors and you open them and of course then you find behind them is another
-
hallway filled with a bunch of doors. Programming is fun and easy. You can do anything your
-
mind wants to do. Finally you start to open enough doors the light comes in. To me a finished
-
program is like a structure filled with light. All the corners are illuminated. The number
-
of people that you can touch and interact with is something the world has never seen
-
before. Our first lesson in this series is all about what computer science is, what a
-
computer scientist does and how you can be more responsible in your use of technology.
-
It's a very important lesson but it is a little text-heavy. At the end, you get to make your
-
very own customized encoding using your initials. It's a fun activity and it's very empowering
-
because binary is one of those things that feels very technical but once you understand
-
it, it's like you speak a secret language.
