/* Hello, World! is a powerful symbol in the world of source code. It is, by convention, the text that is used to illustrate the basic syntax of a new programming language. It is also the way to compare languages, as in a Rosetta stone. For this reason, Nicola Campogrande chose it as the starting point of his lieders, created specifically for CodeFest2021. How are voice and music reconciled with an artificial language? * /

/* A round table on Ada Byron, who is considered at the same time ‘the first woman programmer’ and the first programmer tout court for her work on Babbage’s ‘engine’. A group of renowned scholars will discuss her approach to programming, the peculiar programmed machine and programming notations that were involved, as well as her legacy, in relation to both the historical background of formalization and mechanization of thought operations, and the main lines of development of computer programming.*/

/ * A journey into Luca Pozzi’s creative hyper-language searching for links between art, computer science and physics. A narrative path between literature and art history, from the use of programming concepts applied to art, to the description of the genesis of a work “Arkanian Shenron” (2020), conceived by the artist for this festival: made of bronze, it is equipped, as its integral part, with a cosmic ray detector, the passage of which induces the generation of a message by means of a software created with a source code written in php and c ++. The software finally sends the message to the Twitter profile of the work and to a site where it is declaimed with a voice self-generated by the browser. * /

/ * If computers are everywhere and programs are what drives the world, coding is a real activity carried out by people in specific historical and social contexts. But often – at least in Europe – a critical vision of this activity has been lacking, which remains unknown or mythological.* /

/*Creativity and rules, spontaneity and constraints, have always been part of the DNA of poetry. But perhaps not everyone knows that poems have been written in programming languages, such as the famous haiku in Perl, or the lyrics in Algol of the Oulipiani. But one can also imagine intermediate artefacts, which hybridize natural languages and programming languages, in which the author is only partially human.*/

Yet there is a long history of Italian IT, which is not just hardware (the Electronic Calculator Pisana, the P101) but also algorithms, software and languages. * /

/*Social robots – machines equipped with artificial intelligence “embodied” in a body – are progressively spreading in various sectors, including education and care. The Gallino Laboratory of the University of Turin used Nao to study some interactions between man and machine, in particular by analyzing the emotions detected by the robot to structure its activities and build positive relationships. Nao is used here as itr (Intelligent Tutoring Robot) for teaching times tables in primary school. During the event, basic elements of robot programming will be presented.*/

It is from this principle that the Software Heritage project was born in Paris and, more modestly, CodeFest launches the project of an Online Museum of Source Code. But all this is possible only if the code is open. * /

/* The source codes that make our world work are 8 thousand more than known languages; they therefore deserve a literary, artistic, linguistic and cultural reflection. In this workshop we present the first exhibition in the world on the source code, created by the Codexpo.org association together with the students of a class of the IIS Avogadro of Turin.
Ten students worked on a theme, preparing the panels and rooms that will be presented by them to other students, teachers, schools, but also to all the curious, experts or not. */

/*The future is STEAM: science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. In the digital age, it is essential that more women acquire the skills necessary to work in the design teams of increasingly pervasive technologies and applications that require a mélange of humanistic and technoscientific knowledge. The “Coding Girls” movement sees universities, schools, organizations and allied companies to promote equal opportunities of coding, educating in a creative and conscious use of digital technologies.
Coding girls in Turin reaches its third year thanks to the collaboration of Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo.
“I think it’s very important to get more women into computing. My slogan is: Computing is too important to be left to men”. (Karen Spärck Jones, British computer science and computational linguist)*/
Organized in collaboration with Fondazione Mondo Digitale (FMD) and women who plan the future.

/ * Theatrical performance about Ada Lovelace, London mathematician and first programmer in history. The show stages an interview by a communications officer of a (real) ICT company to a (virtual) Ada Lovelace. It presents Ada’s life, her relationship with Charles Babbage, the writing of the notes on the Analytical Engine. The goal is to make the public reflect on the relationship between feminine and scientific. * /

/* Don Eyles, a young scientist at MIT in Boston in the 60s, brings us the story of his experience in creating the source code of the Apollo Guidance Computer, the computer that allowed man to be brought to the Moon. He will tell us about the technical challenges they had to face to create a unique software in history and will reveal the background of how the quality of that code and the skill of those programmers literally saved several Apollo missions from unexpected events during the descent to the Moon.*/
