- The things I love
about computer science,
are the fact that it's
a blend of engineering,
creativity, methodology and theory.
My dad was a computer programmer,
so he would suggest ideas for games
that we could build together.
I think I was just always interested
in what was the next
thing I could find out.
As technology becomes just so ingrained
in every aspect of our lives,
there's room for lots
and lots of different
kinds of people to get involved.
For me, there's always a
moment when you're teaching
a beginner programming
course, and it's that moment
where somebody starts to
feel like they can program
for the first time.
I think that's really exciting.
One of the projects that I
work on is around human memory,
and how technology might
be used to help us remember
more of what we experience.
So, you can address things
like cognitive impairment.
You can help people who do
have problems with memory.
If we can make a difference,
then that's a clear benefit.
There's something that you
can look at it and say,
well that wouldn't have
happened without the technology.
My name is Sarah, and I'm a lecturer
here at the University of Manchester.
