Future proof kids introduction
This document provides suggestions for setting up learning areas and activities at home while kids are unable to attend school. It recommends creating a question box for kids to post questions, and provides ideas for designing the box for different ages. Older kids could design an aesthetically pleasing box, while younger kids could decorate an existing box. The document also suggests designating different learning areas around the home, such as quiet, messy, outdoor, and desk spaces. It stresses the importance of considering children's ergonomics and allowing solo, collaborative, standing, and lying down work. Dedicated play areas are also recommended for free time.

PC and board games have several advantages. Many traditional board games are now available as video games, allowing people to play them online against virtual opponents anywhere in the world. Games like chess, checkers, and rummy help develop important logical thinking skills. They can also help reduce the risk of cognitive issues like Alzheimer's disease in older people. Parents can introduce board games to young children to help develop important social and educational skills like communication, patience, and learning to deal with both wins and losses. Games that involve elements of chance can also teach children that both good and bad luck are normal parts of life.
Defeat the book thief!
The document discusses the design of a library instruction video game created by students to teach basic library skills through gameplay. The game was designed to be educational rather than purely for entertainment. Students were recruited and split into two groups to design the game using simple materials rather than computers. The students enjoyed collaborating and seeing the results, and most felt they learned new skills through the project, though one student wished they had used actual programming.

Creativity tips
This document discusses ways to exercise and develop creativity. It recommends carrying a notebook to capture ideas wherever you are, taking breaks from stressful work to refresh yourself, engaging in conversations to gain different insights, and challenging yourself to do different tasks to improve your creativity. It also notes that the best ideas can happen spontaneously and that being willing to make mistakes can lead to great outcomes.
Project launch 2016
This document outlines an assignment for students to address gender inequality. It instructs students to:
1) Research a specific issue of gender inequality that concerns them.
2) Design a new product that could help address the issue and improve lives. The product could be anything with real potential to further equality.
3) Create a short television advertisement to promote their product and persuade people of how it addresses inequality.
The students will work in groups and be provided workshops, online resources and teacher mentors. There will be rewards for the best products and advertisements presented at the end of the week. The assignment aims to foster students' understanding of gender issues and teamwork skills.

Makey Makey NYSCATE 2014
This Spring I taught a 5 day class to our middle school students called Makey Makey. The class focused around the ideas of invention, creativity and imagination. Students were given a Makey Makey (a simple pre-programed circuit board that lets users control a computer by using alligator clips and anything that is conductive). Students were taught the elements of basic design, and circuitry. The students had to use the Makey Makey to create a final project that was original. The presentation will give attendees some insight about using a project based model for learning and exploration. I will also show videos of student work and possibly bring in a student or two to answer questions.
Makey Makey
This document discusses an experiment using the MaKey MaKey conductive kit to allow older adults to create their own musical instruments and explore new technologies. The kit allows users to connect everyday objects like fruit to a computer to turn them into piano keys. The conclusions suggest future kits should be designed for open-ended use and adoption rather than contained activities, as a large part of design occurs through experimentation and use. The document promotes the benefits of introducing new technologies to older populations in an accessible and creative way.

Video Games in Learning - Laptop Leaders Academy
This document discusses how video games can be used to enhance learning in the classroom. It notes that today's students learn differently than educational systems were designed for, and that video games tap into how the brain naturally works by encouraging pattern recognition, problem-solving, collaboration and rewarding feedback. The document provides examples of educational video games and discusses how games can increase literacy skills and simulate real-world situations while supporting complex learning. It addresses criticisms of video games and suggests ways teachers can start integrating games into their classrooms.
Proposal
This document outlines a proposal for a video game called "Escape." The target audience is 16-19 year olds because that is a popular gaming age range and matches the creator's age. Both genders can play as the game is not gender-specific. Anyone of any school grade or social status can play. The game concept involves running and dodging objects while collecting coins or gems to upgrade a character or costume. Research will focus on popular game designs from Google and color schemes from images and existing games. The creator plans to evaluate their work by discussing the inspiration and learning from initial experiments and research.

Nikola Tesla summarized
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor, known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. He invented the AC motor and developed AC power transmission. Some of Tesla's other inventions included the Tesla coil, wireless radio, and the Tesla turbine. Despite his revolutionary inventions, Tesla died in poverty while his ideas were exploited by other inventors and businessmen.
Historical figure-Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer who made many contributions in the areas of electricity and wireless communication in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Some of his most important inventions and discoveries included radio, X-rays, hydroelectric power, and wireless transmission of energy. However, he often did not receive full recognition or credit for his work. Tesla struggled financially later in life despite his many inventions, as he was uninterested in profits and his ambitious projects like the Wardenclyffe Tower failed. He lived in poor conditions and in his later years suffered mental health issues, passing away in 1943 still in debt.
The life of Nikola Tesla
The great man Nikola had one of the best minds and this is quite interesting news about him and his life.

Anki vs Touch Board
The document discusses an educational product called Touch Board that allows users to create electrical circuit projects by connecting various inputs like fruits or other household objects to the board via alligator clips or graphite. The Touch Board works similarly to products like Arduino, Makey Makey and Little Bits by using electric signals as inputs, and it can power various outputs. The document encourages purchasing the Touch Board as a educational product for building circuit projects using everyday objects.
Magic!
The document describes a game where a user chooses a random number between 0-15 and a series of yes or no questions are asked to try and determine the number. The questions separate the possible numbers into two groups and ask if the user's number is in one of the groups. This process of elimination continues by halving the possible numbers until the exact number is guessed after asking a series of yes or no questions.
Africa's problems
The document discusses problems in Africa such as diseases, poverty, underdevelopment, uncleanliness, poor education, and civil wars. It states that simply providing money will not solve Africa's problems, and that increased awareness and investment from wealthy Africans is needed to develop countries through activities like building houses, starting businesses, and ending diseases. It also notes that helping African countries could provide natural resources to other nations in return.
Mind Blow
The document discusses a mind trick involving web searches and intentional mistakes in text. It directs the reader to look closely at sentences containing web addresses and animations, noting that the addresses are missing letters to form "www." It then acknowledges there were four mistakes made in the presentation, including a misspelling and missing words, encouraging the reader to find the errors.
Electricity
The document discusses the properties of graphene and aerogel graphene. Graphene is described as amazingly cheap, good at conducting electricity, and flexible yet harder than diamond. Aerogel is described as amazing and insulating. The document then expresses surprise and excitement at the prospect of aerogel graphene, an object that would have both conductive and insulating properties and be so light it doesn't obey gravity.
The Chaldean Empire
The Chaldean Empire reached its peak under King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th century BC. Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt Babylon, including constructing the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to please his wife. The gardens, located on a fake mountain with multi-level terraces, went on to become one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Astronomy was an important part of Chaldean culture and religion, with priests studying the stars and using ziggurats to be closer to the heavens. The Chaldeans made many scientific achievements in fields like mathematics, astronomy, and time-keeping systems that are still used today.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
