Eight CSTA Chapters have joined forces to host the inaugural Super Southern CSEd Virtual Unconference on Saturday, March 25, 2023 on the Hopin platform with the theme of #CSEverywhere!
 
What's an unconference? It's led by attendees, inclusive, informal, and contains open discussions and opportunities to share. We're excited to hear some of your CS teaching tips!
 
The unconference will offer a blend of sessions where the topic is chosen by the participants, as well as “anchor sessions” led by speakers and broken down by grade band.
 
Anchor sessions led by Lois Byars, Canice Pittman, Nancy Stevens, and more!
