These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that as a sound wave travels forward, the medium it travels through does not.
• Describe the movement of each ‘particle’ of a longitudinal (sound) wave as the wave moves...

This edition of Computer Science for Fun looks at human-computer interaction (HCI), and how designers aim to make computers that feel good to use. The articles cover:

• ‘Invoked computing’ – camouflaged computers

• HCI and F1 steering wheels

• Cheating robots

• Handshaking – tuning into...

This issue of Computer Science for Fun focuses on multimodal design. This involves interfacing with computers using more than one of your senses.

The articles include:

• Using air and ultrasound to create ‘shapes’ you can feel.

• Medical and veterinary training simulators with haptic feedback...
