Great job today creating a story
with a special premise.
Premise the starting situation
of the characters in the story
is a really important part of storytelling.
Great storytellers grab the audiences' attention
with their exciting, intriguing, or unique premises.
Today you also use modules and learned
about how you can fit different concepts
and code box together to create something new and unique.
Computer scientists build on top of code
or machines that other people have made all the time.
Storytellers do the same thing when they use plot devices
like some of the ones you've used today.
Just like computer scientists using code
that has already been written.
Conflicts in stories often mirror common real-life problems.
Computer scientists solve real-life conflicts
with the code they build.
Take robots for example.
Robots can be programmed to do almost anything
that you or any other computer scientist can think of
and they often perform tasks better than a human can.
They can be programmed to block shots from
one of the best soccer players in the world.

To create bottled water so inexpensively
that it can be given away for free.
It's a business model that pits
this bunch of Gen Y's against the big boys of beverages
like Coca-Cola Amatil which owns the Mount Franklin
and Pump brands.
It was definitely a rollercoaster
for the last year that we were pursuing this
but now we are starting to see the invincibility.
It is like every single week is getting better and better.
Every bottle that rolls off
the production line will be given away,
bank-rolled by the advertisers who buy space on the labels.
Being environmentally conscience Gen Y upstarts
they've made their bottles from materials they say
degrade 100 times faster than regular plastic.
As long as we have the consumers on our side
we'll always be appealing to advertisers.
We'll always find a way to get it out
to the consumers for free so it's already a question of
who is going to let us but rather who is going to stop us.
They can be programmed to quickly
create components for cars.
Some robots have even been programmed
to help children with autism learn to communicate.
These robots are used in classrooms
and allow children a safe
and engaging way to practice communication.
With computer science humans have the ability
to program computers and robots
to solve a wide array of problems
that could never be solved before.
Next club you will create a narrated story
while learning about broadcasting.
Go for it and tell your story.
