1. Welcome
My name
I’m here to tell you a little bit about what Computer Science is.
What would it be like to be a computer science major at UNCW?
What would your life be like if you majored in Computer Science?

What we do: Make hypotheses and then test them.
So here’s a hypothesis you may have heard today: <NEXT SLIDE>
