This exciting program explores NASA’s capability to take humanity farther into the solar system than we have ever gone before and will look at the science behind this fantastic journey.
Computer Science The Impact of Computers(App)
Perhaps no invention has impacted our everyday lives more than the computer. Computers have transformed the fields of sci- ence, medicine, education, entertainment and research, to name a few. Computers have become an indispensable part of our lives. From a steam-driven prototype developed in the early 1800s, to the first computer built in 1941, which could process 29 equations simultaneously, to the microprocessor developed by Intel – the evolution of the computer is amazing. The first computers, developed in the mid 1940s took up an entire room. Today the microprocessor, smaller than a fingernail, delivers immense computng capabilities to run today’s applications.
Computer Science The Importance of Coding (App)
Today, computing is involved in almost every aspect of our lives, from communications and education to social media, banking, information, security and shopping.
