The 7th Annual Conference on Integrated Computing and STEM Education provides a forum for K–14 STEM teachers, researchers, educators, policy makers and industrial partners to share their experiences, best practices, and ideas, and thereby influence the future direction of integrated computing and STEM education.

The theme of this year’s conference is Learning Through Doing: Join the Maker Revolution, with an emphasis  on computing, robotics, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino for hands-on learning math/science and maker movement. Integrate coding, making, and robotics into core academics to achieve 100% math proficiency for your students.

We have more than 160 registered participants attending the conference.

Keynote and Plenary Speeches

In keynote and plenary speeches, learn from the Founder of Maker Movement on the current trend and future direction of Maker Movement. Learn from a district leader on how  computing and robotics are used to close the math achievement gap for struggling students in middle schools in a school district. Additionally, learn from a math and robotics instructor about achieving 100% math proficiency in the classroom and hear a student perspective on how the C-STEM program guided aspirations for a future in STEM.

Breakout Sessions

Many hands-on breakout sessions are designed for Learning through doing. Learn from experienced C-STEM teachers to share their experience on how to integrate computing and robotics (Linkbot and Lego Mindstorms NXT/EV3), Raspberry Pi, and Arduino into their STEM classes. Bring your own laptop of Windows or Mac OS X to join many hands-on sessions to learn, and take the latest technologies, curriculum, know-how, and excitement  to your classroom teaching and making.
