Open House

THANK YOU to all who joined us for our first time doing this event! We received over 750 RSVPs and really enjoyed the opportunity to share computing with so many of you. Please see pictures and the program. The DawgBytes Facebook page lists all of our events. We look forward to seeing you next time!

WHAT: Participate in hands-on activities and visit research labs to find out what computer science is all about! UW Computer Science & Engineering students, faculty and academic advisors along with representatives from local technology companies will introduce you to the broad range of problems computer science can address.

WHO: Middle and high school students and their families.

WHEN: 1pm - 3pm on Saturday, December 8th, 2012

WHERE: UW Paul Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering (free parking after noon on Saturdays!)

WHY: Celebrate Grace Hopper's birthday and the start of Computer Science Education Week.

Are you curious about what it takes to hack into common electronic devices... and protect them from future attacks? UW CSE's security group will be displaying research they have done on car hacking.

Want to impress your friends? Learn some cool card tricks (and a little discrete math)!

Grace Hopper popularized the term "debugging" when a moth was found stuck in a computing machine she used, causing calculation errors. Do you know what it takes to make sure a program is bug free? Representatives from UW's Information school will help you debug code in a game-like environment.

Have you always wondered what kind of thinking computer scientists engage in? Come solve Amazon.com's computational thinking puzzles to find out!

All this and more at the CS Open House — we hope to see you there!
