Hello agentofcard,
I am posting some excerpts for you below, but I also selected links
that will be worth taking a deeper look if you want more information.
"Computer Science is the systematic study of the feasibility,
structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical processes
(or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation,
processing, storage, communication of, and access to information,
whether such information is encoded in bits and bytes in a computer
memory or transcribed in genes and protein structures in a human cell.
The fundamental question underlying all of computing is: what
computational processes can be efficiently automated and implemented?"

"The reason for including the term science in computer science is that
the theory of problem solving plays a large role in the application of
computer technology to practical problems. Unfortunately, the emphasis
society places on computer applications often tends to overshadow the
science on which those applications are based. The science, however,
is there nonetheless. Before you write most applications, you will
need a good deal of background knowledge concerning data structures,
algorithms, and the management of complexity. It is this knowledge
from which the science part of computer science stems."

This website talks about what computer scientists learn and do:

I hope this was the sort of answer you were expecting. I do encourage
you to read all of the above links and after that you should have a
good understanding of what computer science is. Please let me know if
you need any additional clarifications. I would be happy to further
assist you.
