Dear all,
It was an amazing display that the School of Computing presented at the Annual Queen’s Fall Preview, on Saturday October 30, from 8:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Twenty members of the School where on hand to promote our undergraduate programs, and the discipline of computing in general. I am happy to report that their beautiful demos and eloquent presentations to high school students and their parents attracted a great deal of attention. There were approximately 2,400 visitors, and one could see a renewed interest in the excitement and wonder of computing, among female and male young people alike. (And if you missed the event on the weekend, you can make up for it by offering to help on the second occasion, on Saturday November 13.)
A big heartfelt thank you to the following wonderful volunteers:
