Computing Outreach Lecture Series

Sponsored by the Computer Science Department and the ACM

Motivation for this series:

To present speakers who will engage a wide community with insights about existing and proposed new uses of computing, and how each of us can participate in discovering new uses for computing. One goal is to encourage students, parents, adult learners, fo example, to consider enrolling in College of Charleston Computer Science courses to further explore these issues.

Computing solutions are becoming ubiquitous and there is much to learn about how these solutions work and what they can do.  Computing literacy will soon be akin to conventional literacy as foundational knowledge for the 21st century citizen.  Let's promote the new literacy!
