“Computer science challenges the breadth and depth of one’s knowledge, ability, and imagination. Because it’s not about learning or becoming an expert in one field; it’s about designing the technological tools that enhance and support every human endeavor. Any given day a practitioner of computer science may be helping to discover the contents of the human genome and the next designing a system to manufacture the best pop top can.  My reward as a teacher is to watch my students begin to see the wonders they can accomplish and the dreams that lead to creation.”
