The CS Roadshow takes a team of UTCS undergraduate and graduate students to middle school and high school classrooms to excite students about computer science. They give a 45-minute presentation about cutting-edge CS technology, challenge the students with logic puzzles, and demo a AIBO robotic dog that plays soccer.

Audiences:

•  K-12 boys and girls

•  Teachers, Parents, Educators

Goals:

•  To show computer science as a broad and exciting field with the potential for diverse participants

• To challenge stereotypes

• To show the breadth of the field

• To get students (and parents and teachers) excited about the field and its possibilities

• To leave audiences wanting to find out more …hopefully through further studies
