Welcome!
The SIGCSE Technical Symposium addresses problems common among educators working to develop, implement and/or evaluate computing programs, curricula, and courses. The Symposium provides a forum for sharing new ideas for syllabi, laboratories, and other elements of teaching and pedagogy, at all levels of instruction. We invite those interested in computer science education and computer science education research to contribute to SIGCSE 2009.
The conference starts on Wednesday, March 4th, with a variety of pre-conference events and the first evening of workshops. The last collection of workshops concludes the conference activities on the afternoon/evening of Saturday, March 7th. The following table shows the dates of some of the major conference activities; plan your travel accordingly:

More details will be provided in the Conference Program when it is finalized.
Conference Theme:
Engaging Computer Science Education
The theme reflects our common desire to create computer science education that engages our students and facilitates learning. The theme also implies a need to engage in a discussion about the future of computer science education. In these challenging times, we need to reflect on how we interest students, how we retain students, how we make our students globally competitive, and how we lead students to succeed in the interdisciplinary settings of professional computer scientists.
