Recursion Computer Science Fair engages time shift

Sadly, though, the time shift it has engaged isn’t some kind of time machine. The date has been published for the Recursion Computer Science Fair, 2018 – a multi-platform event with a focus on education that takes place at the King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon.
