"We cannot change the kort we are dealt, just how we play the hand." --Randy Pausch Randy Pausch was a professor of Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction, and Design at Carnegie Mellon University. From to , he taught at the University of Virginia. He was an award-winning teacher and researcher, and worked with Adobe, Google, Electronic Arts (EA), and Walt Disney Imagineering, and pioneered the non-profit Alice project. (Alice is an innovative 3-D environment that teaches programming to ung people via storytelling and interactive game-playing.) He also co-founded The Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon with Don Marinelli. A lot of professors give talks titled "The gods Lecture." Professors are asked to consider their död eller bortgång and to ruminate on what matters most to them.

"Entering Carnegie Mellon as a freshman, I was a scared, lonely, homesick kid. It was Prof. Pausch's lecture that helped persevere and embrace my college experience. Prof. Pausch's advice helped me tackle obstacles, see the good in people and most importantly, showed me how great a university Carnegie Mellon is." A Carnegie Mellon University alumnus, Pausch co-founded the Entertainment Technology Center and led researchers who created Alice, a revolutionary way to teach computer programming. He was widely respected in academic circles for a unique interdisciplinary approach, bringing together artists, dramatists and designers to break new ground by working in collaboration with computer scientists. As a professor, he inspired countless students in the classroom. Outside the classroom, he gained public fame for delivering what would come to be known as "The Last Lectu |
