  2. The “Passion, Beauty, Joy, Awe” movement • Grady Booch @ SIGCSE 2007 • Need to articulate, emphasize the “wonder and awe” of computing • PBJA1 session @ SIGCSE 2008 • Crisis in computing, what can help in K-12, working w/student groups • Rebooting Computing Summit • Subtitle: “Magic & Beauty of CS” • Working group: K-8 FUNdamentals • PBJA2 session @ SIGCSE 2009 • Crisis update, Listening to our students, Relevant projects to them • Ensemble Computing Portal • Let’s continue the discussion!computingportal.org/pbja Grady Booch @ SIGCSE 2007

  3. All CS intro courses CS106A (our CS1) The topic is timeless…every SIGCSE! • Original need driven by computing crisis • Numbers show upswing • We should ALWAYS be • looking to share PBJA • asking students what they want to learn & what inspires them • PBJA3 presenters • What we’ve done / seen • What we should do • How we should do it Enrollment trends @ Stanford 1985-2009All CS Intro courses,Their CS1 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 “You get to express your artistic and creative side while still being in a technical field. That has always been the allure for me.”Doug Densmore, UCB GradACM’s Faces of Computing 200 0 1994-95 2008-09 1985-86 1986-87 1987-88 1988-89 1989-90 1990-91 1991-92 1992-93 1993-94 1995-96 1996-97 1997-98 1998-99 1999-00 2000-01 2001-02 2002-03 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 2007-08

  4. CS Education Crisis Perfect Storm … New AP Computer Science : Fundamentals CS10k project(get it taught in 10,000 schools by10,000 teachers by 2015)

  5. UCB: The Beauty and Joy of Computing • Beauty, Joy of Big Ideas • History, limits, future, and social implications of computing • Apps that changed the world • CS + X, simulations • “How it works” sessions • Current events in computing • Abstraction, algorithms, data, programming paradigms, concurrency, networking, AI, … • Beauty, Joy of Programming • UC Berkeley’s BYOB Scratch w/l • Recursion, graphics, multimedia, animation, games, simulations … • Pair programming, online exams, labs, two of their projects, essay Pilot Winner Winner inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs10/ Fall 2009 students pair programming BYOB w/l Demo

  6. “And in Conclusion…” • Let’s all foster, find and share PBJA and bring it into our classrooms • Interview your students • Rethink your CS0, CS1 • Start w/BYOB Scratch + l! • Get involved in K-12! • Start a CSTA chapter • Help the CS10k / AP teams • Let’s continue the discussion online! computingportal.org/pbja
