What Is COMPUTER SCIENCE ANYWAY? Where CAN I LEARN MORE CODE? That’s a great question! I didn’t

Computer science shapes the world we live in every day. At its core, computer scientists use technology to solve important problems. They design robots that work in hospitals, make magical 3D movies and write the code that make iPads and computers work. To do all of these things, you have to know how to code. But less than 5% of students in the U.S. learn about it before graduating high school. This has to change. We think it’s great that you’re here and are willing to try out coding for yourself! I encourage you to learn more if you are interested and to keep asking questions. - Jeff Stern, Elon Senior
