Members of the Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences (ITLS) Department will share their research and participate at the Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) Technical Symposium in Minneapolis from February 27th to March 2nd 2019. According to their website, "The SIGCSE Technical Symposium is the largest computing education conference worldwide organized by ACM SIGCSE. It attracts over 1,500 researchers, educators, and others interested in improving computing education in K-12 and higher education."

This symposium is the perfect opportunity for ITLS community members to share the research projects they have been working on via poster sessions, presentations, and workshops. It is also an opportunity to learn from other scholars' research and build opportunities to collaborate.

Below is a list of participation from members of the ITLS community:
