SETH REICHELSON: I see computer science everywhere
MIKAEL HABIB:
Smart medicine that can monitor your body
JACQUELINE CORRICELLI:
National security issues
ARTHUR LOPEZ:
Sonar technology to view the inside of your body
SETH REICHELSON:
It’s saving lives, it’s helping people.
CHINMA UCHE:
Computers have transformed everything we do.
JACQUELINE CORRICELLI:
Computer Science Principles is a broad introduction to computer science.
SETH REICHELSON:
It’s not about syntax, it’s about creativity
CHINMA UCHE:
They can read and understand how the internet functions
JACQUELINE CORRICELLI:
By the time the course is over they will have several apps that wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for their learning
ERIC ALLATTA:
I ask my students to look at the world and think about things that are in their world in terms of data
ARTHUR LOPEZ:
They can actually understand how instructions are given to the computer
MIKAEL HABIB:
We went from talking about how the internet travels and how computers started to where the first computer bug came from
MIKAEL HABIB:
An actual bug
SETH REICHELSON:
I have people from the basketball team, football team, people in interior design, theater and tech people, somebody takes my class, they’re in the band, they want to learn about music, I’ll teach it to them on a program, that has to do with music
HAMED NASSOKO:
I felt like I was in the studio just making a hit record for everyone. This is what I’ve been waiting forever. Just showing your flavor, just showing everything through code, it’s just amazing.
MICHAEL TORRES:
Being able to press enter or run and see my world pop up
LILY SIEMBAB:
It’s like painting or drawing
MICHAEL TORRES:
That cursor is your paintbrush
ASHLEY LIU:

ERIC ALLATTA:
Computer Science can empower. Computer Science is a source of making that can lead to that power
ANGELA ZHU:
My friend and I, we just look at each other, we’re like “oh my God”, we finally got the code.
SETH REICHELSON:
We have breakthroughs, we make discoveries
Nicholaus:
Using apps, like how to think of the behind-the-scenes aspect, how someone might’ve built it.
MIKAEL HABIB:
Wow, a bunch of ones and zeros did that
CHINMA UCHE:
Coming into that class and seeing I can design my own thing is such a powerful thing.
CHINMA UCHE:
Awesome
