. Most young kids and even some college students seem tobe unaware of what computer science means. These activities help them understand the depthand diversity a computer science undergraduate degree can entail.The paper will provide the details for each of these activities and the learning objectives. Theactivities included are:(1) Binary, Octal, and Hexadecimal Initial Keychains(2) Understanding Variables and Arrays with Paper Bags(3) Branching and Looping Statements with Starburst Candies(4) General Class Structure with Bags, Boxes, and a Bin(5) Dr. Doolittle’s Vet Office: Learning Classes with Stuffed Animals(6) Arrays with Tissue Boxes, DVD Sets, Paper Plates, and other Household Goods(7) Basic Networking, Message Passing, and Security with

devised. Audible Browser is discussed in its own section.4.3 Visual and GUI AssignmentsThe course uses a group of structured assignments called "Step Assignments" consisting oftutorials, code reading, and individual work. These lead to group assignments. Theseassignments are GUI-based, using the wxWidgets interface library, and highly visual in nature,building programs such as an aquarium simulator, animation system, and elevator simulator.The earliest solution for this problem was for her to work with a sighted student who could serveas eyes on the project and use the mouse for manipulations. This was a less than ideal solution,requiring coordination of schedules and limiting the time she could work on the project.Providing an alternative

between the master and remote computers will be secure and cannot be compromised.4. Integrate a solar position algorithm into the master controller computer so that the azimuth and elevation position of the Sun can be determined for any location on the Earth given that location’s current time, latitude and longitude. This information will be transmitted to the remote controller computer to adjust the remote solar tracker to the current Sun’s position in the sky relative to the remote location on the Earth.5. Simulate the physical hardware of the solar tracker by using animated computer software. The simulation will be used to test the operation of the whole system.6. This work has an educational value towards understanding the algorithm

Computer cluster became one of the approaches to build thesupercomputer, as the commodity high performance processors, low latency network, andsoftware tools to use the cluster were available. Individual processors used in personal computersbecame highly powerful and they can be connected through a low latency network to create thecluster. To facilitate the use of cluster, Message Passing Interface (MPI) is commonlyimplemented. MPI is a standard portable

The concepts and skills introduced in the computer courses are contextualizedby a problem (game design) that is relevant to students and connected to
