Showing a high school student what being a computational scientist is all about today!

Very cool! Important outreach work!

I ran her through a course that I wrote for 2nd year Oxford psych students, which I thought would be too much for them (they ended up replicating and expanding on an actual published model, so like PhD-level work) and SHE can do it even more easily than them. So impressive!

-
I even explained linear separability and what's up with that and why XOR doesn't work. I am so impressed.

-
Wow! That’s impressive indeed for highschool show around!

I still feel like managing to sneak into Computer Science given it's all locked down was my best accomplishment.

They have a pretty cool view over London. You can see the Shard and everything even though it's in Bloomsbury. It's hilarious how I walk to security and their faces are all like "fuck off" but then all sweet and helpful as soon as they realise I have a staff card.

So that is not sneaking, it is cheating! (Next time I'll bring my old staff card BW, it may work) ;)
