The 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 Bridging the Gap: Promoting Equity through C-STEM, with an emphasis  on transforming math education through hands-on computing and robotics. Our plenary and keynote speakers will present their extraordinary stories on how to close the math achievement gap, including the 100% pass rate for an Algebra 1 class with a large number of at-risk students.

There are a variety of breakout sessions for more than 170 attendees. There are 17 sessions with over 50 presenters sharing their expertise and leadership in C-STEM. There will also be two hands-on sessions for absolute beginners wanting to get started using the C-STEM teaching resources on computing and robotics in their formal and informal programs.

UCD Dean of College of Engineering Jennifer Curtis, Tom Adams, Deputy Superintendent of California Department of Education, Assemblymember Bill Dodd presented award certificates to  C-STEM Teacher of the Year, Administrator of the Year and School of the Year, on behalf of UC Davis, Office of California State Superintendent  of Public Instruction, California Legislature.

Please join the conference  sessions to have thought-provoking discussions with thought leaders  on integrated learning  of STEM with hands-on computing and robotic in the 21st century, led by STEM leaders including
