This article was originally published on The Conversation. Often when I speak with students who are majoring in computer sciences, many of them tell me that they have never taken a computer science course until college. This is especially true for the female, black, and Latino students I’ve spoken with as a computer science professor. […]

Humans are social creatures, but some things are just hard to talk about. For many people, mental health is one of those things. But what if you can’t talk about something where the leading treatment is talk therapy? Maybe try speaking to someone who’s not human. Benjamin Lok, a professor in the Department of Computer […]

First responders typically work in hazardous conditions caused by hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, fires and terrorism events. In the case of …

Watch an overview of the project, “Touch Interaction for Data Engagement with Science on Spheres (TIDESS),” which is funded by the National Science Foundation. TIDEES is a collaboration between educational researchers investigating the use of science content and practices with global ocean data and computer science researchers investigating natural-touch interaction to support learning.
