Scientific paper

We have established a program aimed to the development of small computer applications and web applets to be used for educational purposes and to teach gravitational waves physics and technology, and for the general gravitational wave outreach activities. The computer programs are generated in collaboration with undergraduates and summer students as part of our teaching activities, and are freely distributed on a dedicated website. As part of this program, we have developed two computer-games related to gravitational wave science: 'Black Hole Pong' and 'Space Time Quest'. In this article we overview our computer related outreach activity, present and discuss the games and their educational aspects, and report on some positive feedback received.
