Harris, Ph.D., and Elise Gerich Reprinted with permission from "ConneXions", Vol. 10, No. 4, April 1996. As member of SDSC Steering Committee ‘92-’97, Stewart had front row seat for much of the squabbling over Congress dictate to NSF to “privitize” NSFNet

Overtime, its been great to watch technology enhance Processor speeds increasing & multicores Memory speed increasing Cost decreasing Computer Screen resolution and fidelity improve GPUs as well as CPUs Mobile computing convenient and powerful What an exciting time “the kids” can have 11

Life at SDSU SDSC (San Diego State College) hosts JFK 06June1963 for fascinating speech 19 http://scua.sdsu.edu/exhibits/online/2010/03/JFKMovie/JFKMovie.shtml Marine Corps brat Kris was in Kansas City June1963, but Quantico VA Nov 63

Combining Interests through CI Network everywhere (Internet Archive WayBack Machine = archeaological dig today) Who gets education, who pays? Segregation is illegal in U.S. now, not in 1963 Women’s suffrage in 1920 in U.S. Contrasts – Kris is analog, her students were born digital! 20

3D Game Programming Serious object-oriented programming Team Sport Interdisciplinary [Artists and Programmers] Target of Negative Attitudes from others (especially the “analog” ones) Be prepared with 5 minute elevator talk Learn your client vernacular 25
26
Gamer Groups Spr 2006 Great Studio Class [JSB recommends] – Varying Engagement One girl 26
27
3D Game Programming as Service Learning Students create 3D video games that serve other disciplines – started 2006 NSF grant Handouts Graduate students from CS 583 3D Game Programming want to write thesis with me - must find discipline to serve. 27

How CyberInfrastructure Impacts/Engages our Youth 29 Fall 2011 – Stewart teaches course at SDSU for first time. NSF, CSTA recognize we need more programmers. Stayed tuned! www.stewart.cs.sdsu.edu Students born digital - shrug off “history lessons” on new, innovative, exciting, intrusive …connectivity Internet is dynamic – keep a log (or web page record, find what works for you since resource may move – HtTrack and YouTube Downloader) Internet never goes away, so watch out what you post – Bill Gates mug shot from Albuquerque PD
