We use computers daily to simplify intricate tasks, facilitate cross-cultural communication, and entertain ourselves. From the early mechanical work of Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace, the field of computer science has expanded to include a diversity of subjects from hardware, software, robots, artificial intelligence, graphics, networks, and more. With our videos and tutorials, you will learn to think like a computer and approach complex problems with a new perspective. Master the tools and technology that are shaping the future.
Whether or not you like to press wildflowers, Python modules make coding much easier. If you were building a house, you wouldn’t start by making your own hammer, saw and measuring tape, unless, of course, you were a crazy DIY lumberjack. Instead, you would go to your workshop and pick up your toolbox. The same is true for programming. You …

Adelie takes Unique ID on a fantastic voyage through the inner workings of her supercomputer, Deep Deux Deux. On their adventure in Wonderland, they encounter the White Rabbit, Random Access Memory (RAM), who leads them to a tea party, where they meet the March Hare, Graphic Processing Unit (GPU), the Mad Hatter, Digital Audio Converter (DAC), and the Dormouse, Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Tiring of the nonsense, the Cheshire Cat BIOS suggests our heroes ride a bus to the Central Processing Unit (CPU) where they escape a learning opportunity by bootstrapping out of the system.

Unimpressed by Guido’s Count von Count caricature, Unique ID cites his prior efforts in hip-hop as the superior alternative. While settling their differences over an episode of Daisy’s Binary Workout, ID and Guido are visited by the extraterrestrial robot duo, Craft Punk. ID exponentially increases the funk using powers of two.

What is a Computer? A computer is a device that processes data according to a sequence of automatic instructions. A program is a sequence of instructions that perform a task within a computer. Programs must allow for conditions and loops. A condition means the program will do something different depending on if a boolean is true or false. A program must also be able to loop. Of course, it isn’t a computer if you can’t change the program that it runs.
