Computer Science: Predicting Disasters!
Any time we watch a meteorologist predict a bad weather storm, we are experiencing computer science in action! All of the digital tools and gadgets used to monitor weather through satellites and radar are created and designed using computer science. The tools use computer science to predict disasters like hurricanes, tornadoes or the outbreak of a potentially fatal disease. It can even be used to predict human behavior, which can help prevent crimes. Computer science can provide us with life-saving equipment and career options that help us problem solve together.
