Summer 2022 Workshop: Real World Data, Visualizations and Engaging Assignments Using BRIDGES

Are you looking for ways to spice up your CS1, CS2, Data Structures, or Algorithm Analysis course? Come to our BRIDGES training workshops at UNC Charlotte this summer! BRIDGES provides a toolkit that lets you easily bring in interesting and engaging real-world data into your course assignments, and allows your students to build simple games, create data structure visualizations, and assess algorithm performance. BRIDGES can show the relevance of computing in these early foundational courses by connecting it with real-world problems and scenarios.
