The Rough Compute

Ideas for not entirely messing up computer science and software engineering education. These are short conversations among the computing team from Curtin University. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet to record this podcast, the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation . We pay our respects to Elders past and present. What we say and do in computing may seem very abstract and removed from personal and cultural matters, but we must not forget the lives we impact, because computing does impact everyone. We must acknowledge those whose land and resources we use.
