Why Computer Science?

Computer science is everywhere! There are few fields of study that do not rely on computer science. Even if you are not considering a CS career, the skills you can gain from learning a bit of CS is incredibly valuable going forward in life. Programming allows me to express myself creatively while challenging me to think deeply about a topic. The feeling you get after solving a hard problem and seeing your code come to life before your eyes is enthralling!
