Hopper’s Fables

Summary

Hopper’s Fables began in 2016 as a CREU project at Kennesaw State University. Rebecca Weston picked up the project from a different perspective at Birmingham-Southern College as a Vail Fellow, and Hyun Lee is currently working on the project at Birmingham-Southern College. Hyun is working to add more mathematics to the story, which is what Rebecca was working on as well.

Final Report from CREU Project

Because the CREU project was sponsored by CRA-W and the Coalition to Diversify Computing, we wrote up a final report, which can be found here.
