Why Computer Science ?[edit]
A 21st Century Skill
Computer science is...
- a theory and practice that allows you to program a computer to do what you want it to
- a tool that helps you tell a story or make something happen with technology
- a discipline that emphasizes persistence in problem solving — a skill that is applicable across disciplines, driving job growth and innovation across all sectors of the workforce
- a skill that teaches students how to use computers to create, not just consume
Computer science is not...
- learning how to type
- learning to use word processing, spreadsheet, or presentation software
- learning how to build or repair computers
- playing video games[6]
