We conduct tours throughout the year for industrial and educational parties interested in the state of the art in graphics research. We demonstrate graphics software and hardware, and give the inside view of this industry at the cutting edge of both scientific practice, and entertainment. Exploratories leverage the joint forces of computer graphics and interaction to provide efficient, powerful learning experiences that would be impractical, if not impossible, to attain with traditional means. The Bridge Course This summer program welcomes incoming first-year minority students into computer science. The course provides a supportive environment and teaches skills that increase the likelihood of the students taking and enjoying introductory computer science courses.
Students meet and hear lectures from faculty and students.
The program is designed to convey the excitement of several areas of computer science, and to show how basic knowledge in computer science can be applied to a wide range of other endeavors in academia and industry.
