What is Computer Science - unplugged activity

0:01   What do you want to be when you grow up Olivia? Umm, an astronaut! Do you happen to know what
0:11   a computer programmer is? Yeahh, umm, no. Umm, what what? I'm not really sure how to
0:18   explain it. Computer programming is pretty simple. It's a set of instructions, like a
0:22   recipe. You have to follow them step by step to get the end result you want. Computer science
0:27   is a way to impact the world. It can be music videos, it can be games, detect whether or
0:34   not someone is related to someone else. Find you know, people's friends. You can do all
0:38   sorts of other crazy things that actually save lives. You do have to have a drive I
0:43   think. It is to me like a paintbrush. I think great programming is not all that dissimilar
0:51   from great art. When I finally learned a little bit of programming, that blank wall resolved
0:56   into a bunch of doors and you open them and of course then you find behind them is another
1:01   hallway filled with a bunch of doors. Programming is fun and easy. You can do anything your
1:07   mind wants to do. Finally you start to open enough doors the light comes in. To me a finished
1:13   program is like a structure filled with light. All the corners are illuminated. The number
1:18   of people that you can touch and interact with is something the world has never seen
1:25   before. Our first lesson in this series is all about what computer science is, what a
1:31   computer scientist does and how you can be more responsible in your use of technology.
1:37   It's a very important lesson but it is a little text-heavy. At the end, you get to make your
1:42   very own customized encoding using your initials. It's a fun activity and it's very empowering
1:49   because binary is one of those things that feels very technical but once you understand
1:54   it, it's like you speak a secret language.
