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 PBJA3 session @ SIGCSE 2010 • Curriculum, PD, community, industry fighting “there’s an app for that” • PBJA4session @ SIGCSE 2011 (Sat@11) • 3 others in K-12 will share vision Grady Booch @ SIGCSE 2007
The topic is timeless…every SIGCSE! • Original need driven by computing crisis • Numbers show upswing, others near historic highs! • We should ALWAYS be • looking to share PBJA • asking students what they want & what inspires them • PBJA4 presenters: K-12 • Background of their school • What PBJA means to them • What they’ve done / seen • What we should do • How we should do it Enrollment trends @ UC Berkeleyin all Self-paced courses
