I'm gushing over the brilliance of
Bubblesort Zines - a handful of publications (and apparel and accessories) that strives to "cover computer science concepts in an accessible way, targeted towards people who don't think computer science is for them." This pull quote from their
About page summarizes the goal nicely:
Little girls and boys perform equally in math and science in elementary school. Little girls are super excited about math and science and I completely disagree with anyone who says we need to put lots of effort into getting them more interested. They already are. It isn't until later in high school that society tells them math & science isn't for them & their participation drops. I don't think we need to get high school girls interested in math and science so much as make sure they feel welcome, included, and supported.
On the surface, the offerings
look simple and accessible but if you take a look at the actual content of the zines, they're covering real science like Bubble Sorting, TCP messaging, how image manipulation works or how memory and caching perform. Yes, it's cute but it's also smart. Love it.
