2022 To Code + Beyond: The Research Horizon
Six years after the launch of the national CSforAll movement and two years into the disruption of the pandemic, how should our K-12 computing research agenda evolve? What questions are new researchers asking? What do teachers want us to investigate to elevate classroom practice and student agency? Join us for this in-person gathering of our community to reconnect, share ideas, and inform the research horizon.
