CS Unplugged, SIGCSE and new videos
Tim Bell
where you'll see the latest CS education research, and CS Unplugged will be
there as usual!
Fees for the conference are lower if you register by the end of this month.
A few of us (Tim Bell, Bengt Aspvall, Daniela Marghitu and Lynn Lambert)
will be running a CS Unplugged workshop for those who want to find out what
it is about (it's a beginners' workshop, not for those who have been using
it for a while).

There are also a couple of videos that have been accepted for the conference
- you can see them on YouTube at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVPCT1VjySA (Santa's dirty socks)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-v4Awj_p7g (Reaching out - binary codes)
Even if you're not attending, the latter video contains a great challenge
for students to decode messages in binary. No-one has claimed a prize yet
for decoding it. The student who tested it for me took about 3 hours, so it
is quite a job, but well worth it. I'll send an Unplugged t-shirt to the
first student who decodes it!
Cheers,
Tim Bell
