Data Driven Dance Abstract:
Where the worlds of computing and classical ballet collide Readysaltedcode are bringing computer science theory and concepts to life through the art of classical ballet and the world of digital through the use of a variety of technologies to enhance the performance which are then turned into classroom resources for educators around the world to use. From theory to data to dance.
One of the main aims of readysaltedcode is to engage girls into loving computing; this talk is especially apt this month as it is Lady Ada day on 11th October.
