Summer Teaching Workshop

The Siebel School of Computing and Data Science Summer Teaching Workshop brings together college instructors engaged with teaching computer science to discuss best practices, challenge the status quo, propose new directions, and present surprising or preliminary results. Since it began in 2020, the workshop has been a welcoming venue with over 100 participants each year and has accepted most proposals. There is no registration or attendance fee for this free, online workshop.
