Computer Science Case Study

1. How were you first introduced to CS? How have you continued to develop your technical skills and seek additional exposure to the field?
My first experience with Computer Science had to be back in 10th grade when I wanted to learn how to code Java and make neat programs on my own. This was a year before I took AP Computer Science in high school and I didn’t want to wait a whole year to learn how to code, so I followed tutorials I found online and pieced together some knowledge of Java that helped me greatly going into the class. What was so important about learning about Java on my own was that it kept me intrigued on what Computer Science was and kept me dead set on that being my major going into Florida State University. Since then I have continued to develop coding skills and an interest for Computer Science through watching Harvard CS courses online, messing with a Raspberry Pi and traveling to Detroit with TechNole and attending a hackathon called MHacks. Most recently I have been trying to learn how to develop Android apps. These things continue to drive me to learn and try new things related to Computer Science and expose myself more to the field.
2. Tell us about a time

and parts of the U.K. Since we are so spread out it is hard for all of us to be together on holidays or to be together as often as we would like, but we do our best with what we have. My mother has always taught me to do my best and to put a 100% effort into every I do. I feel like this best fits my views towards Computer Science as I actively try and learn new things beyond what is taught in the classroom and I always put in my full effort. My background makes me unique in that it has taught me to go above and beyond what I am expected to do and that it can be enjoyable at the same time. It is because of this that I have the drive to develop projects that will benefit people greatly and seek work where I can do exactly
