Summer Conference for Computer Studies Educators

Summer Institute for CS Educators

The Summer Conference for Computer Studies Educators hosted by the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) provides resources for educators to implement the computer science and computer engineering curriculum in their classrooms. Every August, participants spend three days networking with other educators, learning new skills and brainstorming classroom activity ideas.

Intended Audience

This three-day residential conference is designed for high school computer studies educators. However, interested elementary school educators are welcome to attend.

Dates and Location

The conference will be held in person at the University of Waterloo from August 13 to August 15, 2024. Participants can arrive on campus on the evening of Monday, August 12 or between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, August 13.

Sessions start at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday and the conference ends with lunch on Thursday. Note the different start time from previous conferences.

Program

Program details with session information will be updated in May 2024. Participants are welcome to attend any session at any time, without pre-registering for individual sessions. This includes any session in the Math Educators conference that is running concurrently.

Registration

Registration will open mid-May and end early July.

Registrations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis. We expect that we will have enough room for anyone who wants to participate in the 2024 Summer Conference for Computer Studies Educators, but to be ensured a spot, it is best to register early. Every participant is encouraged to submit a shared resource related to curriculum upon registration.

Fee

The registration fee is $250 for each participant. This includes any applicable taxes, meals and accommodation. The conference fee remains the same for everyone regardless of whether they choose to stay in the accommodation provided.
