Crash Course Computer Science is one of the latest additions to the popular YouTube series founded by Hank and John Green in 2011. Hosted by computing educator Carrie Anne Philbin, this series debuted in February 2017. As of this write up, the series includes 27 episodes. As Philbin explains in the show's preview, this series is not a "how to" series designed to teach viewers how to program. Rather, this series is designed to introduce members of the general public to the history of computers, the major concepts behind computing, and the role of computers in our contemporary society. Individual videos in this series include Early Computing, Representing Numbers and Letters with a Binary, Intro to Algorithms, and The Cold War and Consumerism, to name just a few. This series is designed to be viewed sequentially, as episodes build off of concepts and information presented in earlier episodes.
