Projects
Here are some papers, posters and reports that have been published about Unplugged.
| Computer Science Unplugged and Outreach Report |
A report from a "birds of a feather" session at SIGCS2008 yielded lots of idea for Unplugged. |

| Engaging with computer science through magic shows |
We describe our experiences illustrating core concepts and enthusing children (age 11-17) about computer science through magic shows. We outline links between various tricks and computer science. The format of show we have trialed is to present real magic tricks with an underlying link to computer science. After each trick the audience is challenged to work out how it works. The mechanics are explained followed by the underlying computer science. Feedback with Talented and Gifted children has been exceptional. |

| Computer Science Unplugged: school students doing real computing without computers |
The Computer Science Unplugged project provides ways to expose students to ideas from Computer Science without having to use computers. This has a number of applications, including outreach, school curriculum support, and clubs. |
