JETT 2005

The Department of Computer Science at Indiana University (IU), in collaboration with the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the College Board (CB), is pleased to invite you to a two-day workshop on November 11^th and 12^th in Bloomington, Indiana.

Our primary aim is to help high school educators learn about object-oriented programming in Java. Other objectives include:

the free exchange of teaching strategies, ideas, experiences, and materials,
building a regional community of computer science educators,
attracting young students from underserved groups, such as girls and minorities, into computing.

All lesson materials will be given freely for reuse in the attendee's high school curriculum.

Special Event: Friday, November 11 at 7:30pm in Lindley Hall 102

On Friday night, Alex Suter of the Software R&D department at Industrial Light and Magic will show behind the scenes footage of various ILM movies, including War of the Worlds and Star Wars Episode 3.
