Computational geometry is the study of computer methods to solve geometric problems and the study of geometric problems arising from computer applications. This presentation discusses some classic computational geometry problems, such as Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulations, and ways they can be presented to high school students. These new geometric problems have many applications, from fire engine routes to video animation, and can be added to a high school geometry curriculum to motivate and challenge students.
