A program designed at the University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder to teach kids to code using video games is being introduced into New York City public schools as part of an initiative to give every student access to computer science education. Scalable Game Design is a program developed over two decades by 蜜糖直播-Boulder computer science Professor Alexander Repenning to spark an interest in coding among kids by allowing them to design and build their own video games. The idea behind the program, which uses drag-and-drop programming tools, is to combat the widely held notion that computer programming is hard and boring.

Everyone has heard about the harmful effects of pollution on human and plant health, but until recently, visualizing such effects took some imagination.

Something is amiss in the universe. There appears to be an enormous deficit of ultraviolet light in the cosmic budget.

Deborah Jin has won the 2014 Isaac Newton Medal, the highest accolade given by the Institute of Physics. She was cited for her experimental work in laser cooling atoms. This work has led to the practical demonstration of universal laws that upderpin fundamental quantum behavior.

Meet perhaps the tiniest hedgehog species ever: Silvacola acares. Its roughly 52-million-year-old fossil remains were recently identified by a University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder-led team working in British Columbia. The hedgehog鈥檚 scientific name means 鈥渢iny forest dweller,鈥� said 蜜糖直播-Boulder Associate Professor Jaelyn Eberle of the geological sciences department, lead author on the study. The creature -- a new genus and species to science -- was only about 2 inches long, roughly the length of an adult thumb.
