Orientation
Get ready for an exciting Computer Science Summer Camp! Join Dr. Phil Chan and camp assistants Daniel Campos and Jesse Torres for a fun-filled program. Arrive at 9am, enjoy lunches at Panther Dining Hall, and wrap up at 3pm with breaks in between. Learn about CS concepts, use Java for problem-solving, and explore real-world applications. Don't forget to check in/out daily and leave your flash drives for distribution. Enhance your computational thinking skills and make new friends in a supportive environment.

Orientation Computer Sciences Summer Camp
Organizers Dr. Phil Chan Camp Assistants: Daniel Campos Jesse Torres
Schedule 9am arrival 11:30am-12:30pm lunch at Panther Dining Hall (all you care to eat) 3pm dismissal We will have breaks every now and then in the afternoon and morning. Restrooms are located in the center of the Olin building. No food or drink in the computer labs.
Signing in and out Please check-in every morning and again at dismissal The parents/guardians need to sign the students in and out Students who drive themselves can sign themselves in and out
Flash Drives Leave the flash drives with the Alice software and name tags we ll distribute them every morning. You can have the flash drives at the end of camp
Emergency Contact Please verify that we have your emergency contact information correct.
Computer Science (CS) Car drivers vs. car designers CS is not using a computer CS designs and creates software and hardware Little AP CS in Brevard high schools 1 out of 16 public high schools a few years ago Currently 6 out of 16 (6 with AP CSP, 2 with AP CS) Available at Florida Virtual School
Useful concepts from last week Some of the basic building blocks for expressing computational thinking: branching, repetition/loops, handling groups, creating subprocedures
Camp Beta Goal: Become acquainted with real problem solving with computers
Use the programming language Java to solve interesting and useful tasks.
Amazing Tasks by Computer Science autopilot aircraft Internet/web has changed society Education, shopping, banking, entertainment, languages can be translated Self-driving (autonomous) cars
Panther Dining Hall returning silverware plates (&scrap) trash (napkins) cubby hole conveyor trash bins Food (plates under the counter) long tables lobby Entrance/cashier long tables (backup) restrooms
Where are we? We are on the campus of Florida Tech
Flash Drive BTW, in addition to Alice and the Duke tutorials Java development kit The text editor Notepad++ The book Blown to Bits
Extremely Challenging In my opinion, this is an ambitious undertaking because it is often misunderstood and under appreciated. Solving significant problems requires multiple skills : Domain specific knowledge Ability to manipulate abstractions Repertoire of previously discovered techniques Facility with complex tools Understanding the medium of expression
Example Problems Computational Thinking Given a keyword, which web page is #1, #2, Flip a coin over the Internet fairly Make change from a purchase Predict if you will like a movie or not Find the shortest distance to a destination
