Abstract
This work in progress shows how instructors can make courses interesting by using history when teaching introductory courses in computer science. The presentation shows how connecting with established computing museums and other historical entities can enhance interest in the subject and develop greater understanding of topics under discussion. It also demonstrate how storytelling can enhance learning and add a different dimension to courses when teaching elements of computer science, especially to those students who are not majoring in the subject.
