In today's club, you learned about
another type of loop, repeat until.
The tool you built is similar to
a computer aided design tool.
Computer aided design tools help architects
and other designers imagine their creations
on the computer before they build them.
Architects once drew everything by hand.
Computer aided design makes it easier for them
to be more precise and to create more accurate drawings
more quickly and efficiently.
In addition many computer aided design programs allow users
to test the functionality of their design
and see how it will preform in specific situations
such as a storm or other emergency.
3-D printers have made computer aided design
even more powerful.
Architects and engineers can design on a computer,
then make a scale model of it using a 3-D printer.
Computer scientists, like you, help make it easier
for artists, architects, and engineers to build
beautiful, functional buildings and objects
for people to enjoy.
Computer science also helps doctors save lives,
assists educators as they teach their students,
entertains people with games, music recording,
movies with interesting animatronics, and much more.
You will have a chance to learn more
about computer science in high school courses
like AP Computer Science, Computer Science Principles,
and Exploring Computer Science.
Many colleges offer computer science courses
and computer science majors as well.
According to the National Association of Colleges
and Employers, computer science majors had one of the
highest starting salaries of all college majors in 2013.
Many computer scientists didn't choose their careers
for the money though, they like helping people solve
problems with computers.
Now that you know about computer science,
you can find ways computer science can help with
anything you do in life.
Remember to thank your gurus, and hosts for making
this club possible.
Next club, you will create a thank you card for them
in Scratch.
Until next time, have fun creating and coding.
