What Is Computer Science?
Computer Science, abbreviated "CS", is the art of blending human ideas and digital tools. Computer science teaches problem solving and important skills like communication, collaboration, and design. There are tremendous career opportunities, and computer science is relevant to all career pathways.
CS education encompasses "the study of computers and algorithmic processes, including their principles, their hardware and software designs, their applications, and their impact on society."
Computer scientists work in so many different areas: writing apps for phones, curing diseases, creating animated movies, working on social media, building robots that explore other planets and so much more.
Creativity is a key component of CS, with computer scientists creating things that have never existed before. Watch these videos to get inspired!
