CST 300: Week 1

This week begins my upper division journey into computer science. I am a bit nervous getting back into school. When the course finally unlocked and my "To Do" list on Canvas filled up, I began to feel overwhelmed. Fortunately I have dealt with this feeling before and am already well on my way to finishing this week's module. 

The most interesting part of this week for me came from watching Ashley Gavin's TEDx talk. Although the video is a few years old, it is still surprising to me how few STEM students major in computer science. It is also surprising to me that computer science is not taught in more high schools. Teaching computer science is my goal, and I hope that I can instill the same enthusiasm into my future students as Ms. Gavin has done for hers.
