SIGCSE TS 2021 Global Attendee Roadmap

The sessions and events shown below may be of interest to non-US attendees or anyone interested in Geographic Diversity. Each falls into one or more of the following categories: specifically about geographic diversity (marked *), set in global contexts, authored by global authors, organized by global organizers, etc. They are organized in the following order:

  • Pre-Symposium Events
  • Papers
  • Posters
  • Birds of a Feather
  • Demonstrations
  • Student Research Competition (SRC)
  • Workshops

There are many other aspects of diversity that are not included here but may be of interest — again, all of these we feel may be particularly interesting for attendees coming from outside the United States. If you notice something missing or have questions, feel free to contact Brett Becker, the SIGCSE Technical Symposium Global Liaison global@sigcse2021.org.

All Symposium First-timers are encouraged to attend the First Timer’s Session and SIGCSE Award for Lifetime Service to the Computer Science Education Community Keynote “A Lifetime of Learning, A Lifetime of Educating,” Cary Laxer (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology) on Monday, March 15 / 02:00 PM (ET) - 03:00 PM (ET).
