  1. Hi, my name is Mona Jacobs.
  2. And today I will be discussing my future in computer science.
  3. Now, what is computer science?
  4. Computer science is the study of the principles and use of computers
  5. under this comes pro many
  6. programming languages,
  7. algorithms
  8. A I
  9. and
  10. many other technological technological aspects
  11. that are used to create
  12. different tools such as websites,
  13. apps,
  14. presentation,
  15. uh websites and
  16. so on.
  17. Computer science is very vital, especially with today's ongoing use
  18. of
  19. uh technology as well as the many innovations that we have today.
  20. Now, why did I choose
  21. a major in computer science?
  22. Well, in high school, I took my first ever computer science class
  23. um which was under video game design
  24. and in video game design. I learned my first programming language called C#
  25. and with this language, I learned how to develop two D video games.
  26. I learned my first algorithms.
  27. I started learning problem solving
  28. and realized how much I enjoyed actually doing that.
  29. There's always a new challenge
  30. every single day and it's very stressful at times,
  31. but it is rewarding to figure it out.
  32. And overall brought me to loving
  33. computer science.
  34. Now, my degree plan
  35. um requires me to have 124 credit hours.
  36. And with this amount of credit hours,
  37. 51 of those are for my major and
  38. these are all computer science classes which range from
  39. the programming language C++
  40. um all the way to,
  41. to me
  42. getting into graphic design, web design
  43. and
  44. many other aspects of
  45. programming.
  46. Along with these 51 hours, I am required to have 29 hours of
  47. math and sciences
  48. and 42 credit hours of the basic classes required.
  49. Um
  50. As far as um the general studies of being
  51. a college student at TSU
  52. as far as scholarships and internships,
  53. um
  54. basically any technolo technology company
  55. in based in stem
  56. uh companies or
  57. just programs dedicated
  58. to
  59. helping finance, those who are um in need of
  60. more money to continue to pursue schooling,
  61. provide scholarships for STEM students.
  62. One of the main scholarships I will be high highlighting
  63. is the generation Google scholarship and this scholarship provides $10,000 to
  64. women of color
  65. that are pursuing a career
  66. in computer science or
  67. engineering
  68. or any other stem related
  69. ve
  70. as far as internships go, it goes the same way.
  71. Many stem related companies provide internships for
  72. STEM majors
  73. and provide ample experience,
  74. which is very exciting because
  75. you get to work closely with those who are professionals in the field already
  76. um to work on research assignments and
  77. other things that will provide plenty
  78. of exposure before getting a career in computer science.
  79. Now, the origins of computer science date back to around 1941
  80. and
  81. the first binary computer was created by
  82. Conrad
  83. Zeus.
  84. He also created the first programming language through calculus.
  85. The first English based
  86. programming language came out in 1951
  87. and this was created by Grace Hopper.
  88. Grace Hopper
  89. also created more programming language along languages along the line.
  90. And as more languages developed,
  91. we have gotten Microsoft Google, Facebook
  92. and many other innovations out of
  93. out of program languages.
  94. Sorry, I had
  95. a
  96. brain freezer for a second
  97. for the future in programming.
  98. I
  99. see myself
  100. using my creativity and
  101. all the all the
  102. skills I learned in school
  103. to create and innovate
  104. new technological advancements and improvements.
  105. I also
  106. more importantly, want to inspire other black girls out there
  107. to pursue a degree
  108. in technology and know that it is
  109. possible to finish
  110. a degree in programming despite how rigorous and challenging it is
  111. and that it is rewarding
  112. to find new discoveries and that
  113. in a world that's always changing,
  114. there's always room for improvements and
  115. you never know
  116. what you can create.
