Paul Curzon, Professor of Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London delivers our exciting opening keynote of the festival.

We will demonstrate some fun activities as well as explaining how to ensure unplugged and other activities give solid understanding of concepts by using semantic waves to unpack and repack knowledge.
