Welcome to cs4fn : the fun side of Computer Science

Download the cs4fn magazine and find links to its articles here.

Welcome to the fun side of computer science! Explore how computer science is also about people, solving puzzles, creativity, changing the future and, most of all, having fun.

Visit us at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2009, June 30-July 4th where we are doing the Magic of Computer Science Show all week. We do magic, get you to puzzle out how it works and then explain some computer science linked to the tricks.

Follow our adventures at the Royal Society on our blog and on Twitter.

Alternatively explore our magic show online where you will find all the tricks and all the computer science.
