School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Presents the Outreach Roadshow Supported in part by the NSF-ALADDIN Center Carnegie Mellon University Copyright © 2008 Women@SCS All Rights Reserved Computer Science is all about solving problems…… and using the computer to help solve some very difficult problems Who We Are Ruth Wylie Stephanie Rosenthal Who can do Computer Science ? Who is a Computer Scientist? Ready to guess ? What is Computer Science and What can you do with it ? Problem Solving Learn how to build Algorithms… a sequence of steps/instructions to solve a problem Algorithm Puzzle: A farmer has to get the sheep, the carrot and the wolf over the river to the grassy field. But he can only take one of them with him at a time … Problem Solving If left alone, The wolf will eat the sheep The sheep will eat the carrot What is Programming? A computer can only do what it is told to do A program is a set of instructions telling a machine what to do Programming involves learning how to write instructions that do specific tasks COMPUTER SCIENCE IS SO MUCH MORE!
