Season's Greetings to @astro_Pettit and the crew of the International @Space_Station from us Earthbound computer scientists and teachers. Check out this beautiful photograph taken last week!

[Don Pettit @astro_Pettit]

In space, you can see stars!

I flew a home-made tracking device that allows time exposures required to photograph star fields.
Stay tuned for more photos like this.

Our senior Computer Scientists had a brilliant day @tnmoc last week, many thanks to Sheridan and the team. From Colossus to W.I.T.C.H & beyond we returned inspired. Highlights incl. the Bombe replica in operation, decoding messages & of course @paddingtonbear's @AcornArchimedes.

#HappyHalloween from @RICCompSci - two years ago we started preparing! Site now impervious to vampire attack thanks to our maintenance crew.

[RIC Computer Scientists @RICCompSci]

Freshly sharpened stakes. Routine maintenance @rochesterindcol to protect students and staff from mishaps of this or the other-worldly kind. Happy Halloween. The devil's in the detail!

Here @rochesterindcol @RICCompSci celebrates the contributions of a world of women. In lessons today we will look at the work of: Spärck-Jones, King, Buolamwini, Wilson, Hamilton, Hopper, Johnson and Shirley - some of the notable women everyone should know about.

[RIC Computer Scientists @RICCompSci]

@riccompsci says: Happy International Women's Day 2024 for tomorrow. The @bcs @Cambridge_Uni alumnus & Female icon #1: Karen Spärck Jones - inventor of Inverse Document Frequency algorithm. An essential search engine algorithm. “Computing is too important to be left to men.”
