Hello everyone, My name is Sam Frohlich and I am an undergraduate at the University of Bristol hoping to pursue a PhD on the subject of FP and teaching. I am currently enjoying being a teaching assistant for an introductory course into Haskell and then a more advanced course using Haskell to make compilers which is taught to second years. While I focus on finishing my undergraduate degree I will quietly stay up to date with this mailing list, but after I have graduated I hope to become more involved!

Hello, everyone! Welcome to education@haskell.org.

This mailing list grew out of discussions at ICFP 2018 about creating a space for collaboration and discussion of using Haskell and other functional programming languages in general education. To jump-start that process, I'd like to invite everyone to introduce themselves and specifically share your goals, opportunities, vantage point, and interests. The hope is that we'll be able to sort ourselves into compatible interests and ideas, to kick off more detailed discussion or collaborations.

Some suggested questions to spur discussion:

- What education-related projects are you involved in, or have you been involved in previously? - What other projects do you find exciting, intriguing, or worthy of emulation? - On the other hand, what projects or conversations should be happening, but are not happening yet? - Is there anything specific that you are definitely looking for from this space? - What vision do you have for functional programming in education? That is, what general principles guide your thinking?

I will reply with my own answers, and encourage you to do the same.

Thanks, Chris

P.S. I realize this email is long past due. Between my job as a software engineer, volunteer teaching, and recent development on CodeWorld, I have again fallen into the trap of over-committing myself and falling behind on outside commitments. I hope that late is still better than never.
