5 What is information technology? Information technology (IT) is using computers and computer science to… Where do you see information technologies in use every day? Communicate Solve problems Design and imagine Share, store, retrieve or manipulate information

IT is…Computer Science 6 These computer scientists mine genetic information in order to understand disease, develop medicines, and find cures. Do you like to: Solve problems? Help people? Find ways to do things faster, better, and more easily?

IT is…Computer Engineering 7 Do you want to: Build a better iPod? Invent new toys? Create robots that can do the work for you?

IT is…Computer Graphics and Imaging 8 Are you: Very visual? Someone with a big imagination? Fascinated by maps, models, or animation?

IT is…Information Systems 9 Are you someone who… Understands relationships? Likes to do things efficiently? Can put yourself in other people’s shoes? (Would like to sell lots of stuff?)

Paths to Careers: How Do People Get Started?  Follow a traditional path… 10 Take math, physics, computer science classes; intern with a company’s technology department Participate in your school’s computer club; enter a science fair; attend a technology summer camp Steve Chen (above) is one of the founders and Chief Technology Officer of YouTube. He attended the Illinois Math and Science Academy and majored in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Paths to Careers: How Do People Get Started?  Introducing Leah Buechley  Before College: Interested in design and textiles, liked math.  In College: Studied fine arts, then computer science.  Now: Computer scientist at University of Colorado, Boulder. Researches new techniques for integrating computation, electronics and textiles. 11 Follow your own path…
