+ Computer Science An introduction to the art
+ Computer Science It is an art form Allows infinite numbers of combinations of words, images and ideas. Used to entertain and inform the masses. Goes beyond the infamous binary code Can you think of a problem a computer scientist could solve?
+ Computer Scientists Computer scientists look at individual pieces not just the big picture. Computer simulation and automated performance was born because of the individual pieces Computer scientists are not just programmers
+ Q: Are there any jobs that you can think of where understanding computers would not be useful? Do you think there will be more or fewer of those in 5 years? Q: What other jobs could benefit from the help of computer science?
+ Computer Science Your responsibility in a techy world
+ What’s your responsibility? Find your balance. Here’s three ways to find balance between technology and human-power: Technology vs. Physical Movement Technology vs. Environment Technology vs. Philanthropy
+ Technology vs. Physical Activity Enjoy technology but live a little. Go play outside whenever you can. When using technology, Take stretch breaks every half an hour Follow the 20/20/20 rule: “Every 20 minutes look at least 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.” ers_school_ c.jpg -playground-425ds jpg
+ Technology vs. Environment Be careful with electricity Turn the lights off when leaving a room Shut down and unplug your computer when you’re done using it Recycle unwanted paper Q: What other electricity do you use that you could try to save? Q: Is there anything else you could recycle to help offset paper use? Q: What other electricity do you use that you could try to save? Q: Is there anything else you could recycle to help offset paper use?
+ Technology vs. Philanthropy Get into the habit of “paying it forward” Help someone else having trouble with computers Explain what you learn to others. Help them so you can help yourself. rousel.jpg Q: How would you help the world if you were a computer scientist? Q: Who is the first person that you are going to teach this to once you learn it?
