In this club you learned how to tell stories
using computer science.
However, storytelling is just a small part
of what you can do with computer science.
This video will introduce some of the different ways
computer science is used in the real world
and discuss how to continue learning
about computer science after CS First ends.
Computer science is a way of solving problems
and creating projects using computers.
Every person in every field of study
has problems that can be solved with the tools
you are learning in this club.
People use computer science
to solve many different and unique problems.
For example, curing diseases,
creating interactive school presentations,
finding solutions to global hunger and food shortages.
Keeping track of homework assignments,
making a winning baseball, basketball or football team,
making a program that does math problems and shows its work.
Manufacturing products with robots,
creating a dating website that can help people fall in love,
recording music.
As you can see there's an endless list of problems
that computer scientists can solve.
After just seven days
of learning computer science in CS First,
you can now create compelling stories
and other programs in Scratch.
Imagine what you might be able to do
after joining another CS First club
or after taking a CS in high school
or even after studying computer science in college.
There are many different ways to continue learning
computer science after this CS First club ends.
You might have the option to take another CS First club
which will provide
new and unique computer science experiences.
You can also continue
to build projects in Scratch on your own
and even create projects for school
like interactive presentations and educational games.
In high school you have opportunities
to learn more computer science.
Some schools offer computer science related clubs
like robotics or game design.
You might also have the option
to take a computer science class.
These classes might include exploring computer science,
AP computer science and CS principles.
After high school,
you can study computer science in college.
Most colleges and universities
offer computer science majors.
At some schools you can even choose to specialize
in things that interest you
like computational biology, game design,
computer security, medicine,
software engineering and many more.
Because computer science is so helpful in so many fields,
nearly every industry needs tech savvy people
who understand and can use computer science.
Major tech companies like Google and Facebook
need computer scientists,
but so do industries like manufacturing,
healthcare, the military, finance and education.
In just seven days of this CS First club,
you've been able to accomplish a lot.
The next step in learning computer science
will be much easier now that you have
developed a basic understanding of many CS concepts.
Seek out opportunities in high school and beyond
to expand your knowledge.
Continue to find ways to use computer science
in your everyday life and ask your CS First host
if they know of any local clubs or classes.
In the last club you'll create a story
where you reflect on that you've accomplished
and learned in CS First.
See you next time.
Now go forth and tell your story.
