What is Computing Science?
Take a look at the world around you. How close to a computer are you? When was the last time you used one? Life without computers is almost unimaginable. The power of computers is utilised in all areas of life, from medicine to space exploration. Computing goes way beyond just writing code. Steve Jobs (Apple Co-Founder) once remarked:
“Everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer… because it teaches you how to think”. Steve Jobs (Apple Co-founder)
By studying this highly valued EBacc subject you will develop the skills and knowledge to give you that competitive advantage in any future career. You will develop computational thinking skills such as analysis, decomposition, logic and algorithmic thinking.
“Computational thinking will be a fundamental skill used by everyone by the middle of the 21st Century. Just like reading, writing and arithmetic”. Wing (2011)
