"Computer Science in the World: From Toy Brains to Keeping Trees Healthy"
An interactive session led by Dr. Caitlin Kelleher
Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Washington University in St. Louis
One of the coolest things about computer science is that you can use the tools of computing to help solve just about any problem you can find or imagine. In this talk, we'll look at how people teach computers to solve problems. We'll start by delving into the brains of electronic toys and then see how some computer scientists are approaching some of the biggest problems we face as a society.
Dr. Caitlin Kelleher is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Washington University in St. Louis. Her computer program, “Storytelling Alice,” has been shown to be influential in the teaching of computer programming to young females.
