<p class="MsoNormal">* What's happening in CS: exciting presentations on new research in autonomous agents; data mining; solving the world's hardest computational problems.<br>
<br>
* New ideas in teaching CS: engaging girls -- a narrative approach to teaching with Cellular; A new Snap! extension for network science; secretly teaching the foundations of computing with steganography.<br>
<br>
* VCE Algorithms, Computation and Intelligence: overview of the proposed study; how to get involved; day 3 activities to develop materials.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A central theme of this workshop will be the new VCE study,<br>
provisionally titled: "Algorithms, Computation and Intelligence".<br>
Students will study computation as a method of automated reasoning.<br>
They will learn about the power and the inherent limitations of<br>
algorithmic problem solving, and the prospects for achieving true<br>
machine intelligence. Students will demonstrate their learning by<br>
modelling complex real-world problems and designing intelligent<br>
algorithms for solving them. The study introduces students to the<br>
conceptual framework of computer science. It equips them with a<br>
fundamental, rigorous framework of reasoning that complements<br>
mathematics as an enabling discipline and prepares them to tackle<o:p></o:p></p>
