Outreach
CSE outreach spans summer schools, teacher workshops, hands-on school programs, research-led puzzles and games, public talks, media conversations, and broadening-participation grants.
Schools and Teachers
Hands-on STEM activities, computing education workshops, and curriculum programs connect the department with learners well before college.
Play to Research
Games, puzzles, and classroom activities are treated seriously: several have become formal questions in algorithms and complexity.
Public Conversations
Faculty members regularly translate research ideas for students, teachers, media, policy audiences, and the wider public.
