In this activity you created a
role-playing game while you learned about broadcast blogs.
You also wove a story into your game
and re-used your code in many different ways.
People that create video games aren't just coders,
they're also story tellers.
It takes a team of creative people
with diverse sets of skills and ideas
to make a fabulous product.
A team of video game developers might include
designers, artists, musicians and programmers
with specialties in physics, game play,
user interfaces and more.
In many different careers successful teams include
people with diverse talents.
The ability to program is one talent that you can bring
to any career or path in life you choose.
Taking part in a CS First club is just one way
to learn about Computer Science.
Computer Science is a broad field with
many different applications.
So, find opportunities that match your interests.
In high school you may have the opportunity
to take a Computer Science class.
Most high school CS classes teach different applications
of Computer Science which might include
writing software, making phone and tablet applications,
working with data and manipulating robots.
You might have the opportunity to join a Computer Science
based club like a robotics or game design club.
You can even seek out opportunities to learn how to code
on your own.
At some colleges and universities
introductory Computer Science courses
are the most popular courses.
In addition to taking more Computer Science courses
in college you can choose to major in Computer Science.
Students that graduate with a Computer Science degree
typically receive one of the highest salaries
of all graduates with some graduates landing jobs
that pay over $100,000 a year.
In 2013, the median salary for CS grads
was over $60,000 a year.
In Google CS First you've learned many basic
programming concepts that have prepared you to succeed
in whatever your next steps in Computer Science are.
Seek opportunities to learn more
and become better equipped in whatever your future career is
with a background in Computer Science.
Next activity, you'll create a side-scrolling,
cave-surfer game.
See ya next time.
