Welcome! Let's warm up...

Welcome everyone, to Computer Science!  You might be wondering what computer science actually is...I mean besides science with computers...

For your first warm up today, you have two main tasks, each with some subtasks.

1) Google Drive - here is what you need to do to completely get set up.  You need to get yourself set up and shared properly with the class folder.   HERE is the link. You have two main goals here:

  •   You want to be shared with CAN VIEW option. 
  •   You want to have CAN EDIT privileges on your own personal folder within the class folder.  You also want to make sure that no one else can look in your folder.  I might need to be the one to edit your folder.

Once you are done getting set up with google drive, it's time for a POWER PRESENTATION

2) You task is to make a Google Presentation that answers all of the following questions:

  • What do you think Computer Science means?
  • Why do some people think it is important to teach programming at an early age?
  • What is "Hello World"?  Find an example written in some weird language, and include the code in your presentation.
  • Extra time?  Add ANY COOL computer-related story, fact, picture or whateva!  As long as you answer the questions well above you'll be ok.


When you're done, put your (very well titled) document in YOUR folder in Google Drive

Here we go!
