This is all about how to make the best use of computers and digital media. Handling a keyboard and files is just the beginning. Most happens online these days, where we connect with lots of other people and discover exciting things. But sometimes people get tricked, too, and that's something we'd rather help you avoid. Whether it's about your personal data, your attention, or your free time – we'll show you how to navigate the internet safely.

Ever wondered how programs and apps actually get made? Or how a computer "thinks"? Maybe you've even dreamed of building your own computer game? Then you're in the right place! We'll walk you through the technical basics, take a look inside a computer, and explain how it really works. Then we'll dive into how a computer game comes together and build our very own first mini game.

Computer science lets you turn all kinds of exciting ideas into reality. That old dream of a computer that does your homework for you? It's basically come true. But what's actually going on behind the scenes – how does artificial intelligence really work? How do you even tell a 3D printer what to print? Can computer science help with sustainability and protecting the environment? And what does it really mean that more and more of our lives are going digital – our homes, our money, even our flower pots? We'll explore all of that here. One thing's for sure: computer science brings things together.

More and more fields are drawing on computer science, and inspiring it in return. These days, nothing gets built without a good dose of it – houses, trains, fitness watches, e-bikes, even modern kettles. Healthcare relies on it more and more too, helping to detect diseases earlier and speed up research. Even law, a notoriously traditional field, is slowly digitizing its processes. What would you digitize?

After school, the possibilities are endless. Chances are computer science will play some role in your future… or will it? It doesn't have to mean a computer science degree – there are plenty of apprenticeships and careers out there with little to no IT involved. Maybe a skilled trade is more your thing, or you're still figuring out what direction to take. To help you decide, we've put together a quick overview here. Of course, we can only show you a slice of the huge range of options out there. But you're bound to find something that fits.
