Show a storyboarding video clip from Pixar’s Toy Story to show students that storyboarding is a real world activity and that storyboarding is vital in some careers.
Have students design projects based on content from their other courses, and have them brainstorm how the code they write might be useful in a variety of fields. This broadens their understanding of CS’s many applications.
