UCC builds on Boole’s logic and learning with virtual university

A virtual UCC quad is to feature in a Minecraft version of the university.

Some 50,000 school students from more than 30 countries have signed up to use educational 3D logical puzzles in “Boole World”.

The virtual project is part of the Boole200 project which celebrates the bicentenary of the birth of George Boole, UCC’s first professor of mathematics, now widely recognised as the founder of modern computer science.
