Bringing computer science to the masses is my passion, through education and outreach. I've run mini-courses for girls, designed a video game, lead workshops for professional women, taught arts and social science students, and TA'ed for computer science students. Now I have a chance to broaden my impact thanks to a professor named Binto George, who contacted me about a book he wanted to write.
Our book is all about exploring what computer science is, and finding
the beauty in it. We're going to look at a variety of CS topics in
everyday contexts. We are taking extra care to make the content
appealing to a wider audience, women included. Our main targeted use is
for non-major CS courses like the one I taught for arts and social
science students, though we hope that many more people than that will
enjoy it.
We recently put together a really short survey to help determine the best topics to focus on. We would very much like to have your input on what you'd like to see. We would very much appreciate the two or three minutes it would take for you to fill it in.
Thank you so much, and watch this space for periodic updates as the project progresses!
