Carl Sagan's Letter to the BOE

 a nerdy astronomer

Now, cast your minds back a few centuries, children. Imagine a world without horseless carriages or those glowing boxes in your living rooms. Those marvels were born from the minds of people who delved into the mysterious workings of numbers and logic, just like the subject they want to take away: math.

But here's a secret the universe whispers: there are even more wonders waiting to be discovered! We stand on the precipice of a new frontier, a land of talking machines and games that come alive. To explore this cosmos, we need the tools – the rockets, if you will – of computer science.

Think of a computer like a giant telescope, but one that can not only see faraway stars but also build entirely new ones – made of dazzling colors and fantastical creatures, all on a screen! With computer science, you become the architect of these digital worlds, crafting stories and games that can whisk you away on adventures limited only by your imagination.

Is being a waiter bad? Absolutely not! It's an honest trade, keeping folks fueled for their explorations. But a computer scientist – that's a voyager themself, charting uncharted territories in the vast digital ocean. They become the builders, the storytellers, the ones who push the boundaries of what's possible.

So, the next time you look up at the night sky, filled with a million twinkling stars, remember this: with math and computer science, you don't just gaze at the wonders of the universe, you get to build your own!
