We invite you to the next PNL with Emmanuel Schanzer Emmanuel Schanzer is a former computer scientist and math teacher, and is now a doctoral student at Harvard specializing in Algebra Education. He is the founder of Bootstrap, a national program that teaches hundreds of students each year to program their own videogames using an algebraic programming language. Since 2006, Bootstrap has successfully engaged an army of teachers, a half-dozen colleges and universities, and won support from organizations like the Computer Science Teachers Association, Google, Microsoft, Facebook and the National Science Foundation. He cooks, codes, travels and mixes a mean old fashioned. Emmanuel will explore the literature and current research in the field of algebra education and programming. He will also introduce Bootstrap, a standards-based curriculum that teaches students to program their own video games using purely algebraic and geometric concepts. Monday March 19th @ 6:30pm 151 University Avenue, Palo Alto - 4th floor Appetizers and drinks will be served. Format 6:30pm
