Feel free to practice your one minute elevator pitches, ask him advice on projects, grad school in general, ask him about what he's been up to.
I usually try to skim someone's website or blog for five mins before to generate ideas of where they overlap with me.
I have Jiannin and Bryan and Jaemarie confirmed, anyone else welcome to join.

Let me know if you're interested tomorrow (Fri) 2-4 or 4-6 pm in joining a 'grad student roundtable' for 30 mins with Andy Ko, visiting Uwashington researcher.
Tell me what time works if so.
To quote another faculty, "Andy Ko" is excellent person to speak to just because it's such a great opportunity to meet a top HCI person. You can come with random questions about grad school advice, doing research.

"I study effective, equitable, scalable ways for humanity to learn computing.
My work contributes to the fields of computing education, human-computer interaction, and software engineering. I do this work with many outstanding students https://faculty.washington.edu/ajko/studentson this work to publish https://faculty.washington.edu/ajko/publications, blog https://faculty.washington.edu/ajko/posts, and communicate https://faculty.washington.edu/ajko/impact our research with academia, industry, government, and the public. We do this work with several communities at UW, including DUB http://dub.washington.edu/ (a community of HCI researchers), PLSE http://uwplse.org/ (a community of programming languages and software engineering researchers), and the iSchool's Digital Youth Lab https://digitalyouth.ischool.uw.edu/. I also lead two communities outside the university: Sound CS Ed http://soundcsed.org/, a regional community of teachers, researchers, and inventors passionate about computing education, and CS for All Washington http://csforallwa.org/, a statewide advocacy coalition championing K-12 computing education in Washington state. I formerly directed the EUSES consortium http://eusesconsortium.org/, an academic and industry coalition focused on end-user programming.
