But if done successfully, it can bring great benefits to the students now, and in the future. In this talk, Hon-Wai will discuss how he uses fun problems and activities to get students to unconsciously think about computational thinking. Some of these examples include MatheMagic, solving problems with graph coloring, CS UnPlugged activities (sorting networks, parity-based-puzzles, etc), creative use of induction, zero-knowledge proofs, pancake flipping problems.</p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date field-type-datetime field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Date:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single" property="dc:date" datatype="xsd:dateTime" content="2015-12-11T12:00:00-06:00">Friday, December 11, 2015 - 12:00</span></div></div></div><div class='webform-container-closed'><h2>RSVP</h2><div id='rsvpDate'>December 11, 2015</div><div>We're sorry, but RSVPs for this event are closed.
