TITLE: Computer Science Unplugged: Where did it come from and where is it going?
SPEAKER: Mike Fellows
DATE: 8th May 2025
TIME: 15:00-16:00
DESCRIPTION:
The talk will focus on three objectives:
- A hands-on demonstration of a typical CS Unplugged classroom visit based (partly) on our standard handout and activities, and accompanied by some humorous stories of such visits and the philosophical questions these raise about education and curriculum.
- A history of "Computer Science Unplugged" and its predecessor "This Is MEGA-Mathematics!".
- A thematic emphasis in the choice of funny stories pointing to the future --- particularly opportunities for authentic research participation for kids.
