This talk gives an updated report on the core (Ed)Tech elements comprising the Bricklayer educational ecosystem. OBJECTIVE: To inform interested parties of freely available EdTech suitable for CS education AUDIENCE: Introductory CS Education --- SPEAKER - Victor Winter Creator of Bricklayer and the general-purpose transformation system TL Victor Winter is a full professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and the creator of Bricklayer. His area of expertise is programming languages. Within this area Dr. Winter has a particular interest in formalisms and frameworks that enable the description of computation in a manner that facilitates understanding as well as various forms of analysis. This interest includes, (1) verification – the informal and formal reasoning about properties of programs, and (2) validation – the manual and automated construction of tests to increase confidence in the behavior of a system. --- Lambda Days Website: https://www.lambdadays.org Twitter: https://twitter.com/LambdaDays
