Description

An Unconference is an informal and yet (slightly) structured way for a group of people to share out ideas in small, organic groups. Unbeknownst to us, we did one of these a few years ago and it was quite a hit, and has been requested as a topic since. So…

When: March 24, 12:00 (arrive and socialize), 12:30-2:30 for program with more social time at the end
Where: Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) Gates Commons (6th floor)
Registration: https://pscsta-unconference2018.eventbrite.com

Event Schedule:
12:00 - Arrive/socialize (Parking is free on campus after noon)
12:30 - 2:30: Unconference!
2:30 - Time to continue discussion, or to socialize, or for those who are interested, a discussion on PSCSTA leadership going forward.

If you would like to come strictly as a participant! Great!

If you feel you have something to share, even better! Topics are finalized on the date of the Unconference but could include:

  • What happened at SIGCSE?
  • How K-12 curriculum is changing as more students are seeing CS at earlier grades.
  • CS Teach strategies in Elementary/MS/HS
  • What to do for post AP projects?
  • There’s all this talk about Data Science? Should I be doing it?
  • What’s a good Post AP class?
  • Robotics dos and don’ts
  • Or many others

If you have other topics you would like to include PLEASE bring them!
