SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education

The SIGCSE Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education is the main ACM conference for computer science educators. It has been held annually in February or March in the United States since 1970. In 2019 there were 1809 attendees and 994 total submissions from over 50 countries, with a total of 2668 unique authors representing over 800 institutions and organizations. There were 526 paper submissions (up 15% on 2018), with 169 papers accepted across the three paper tracks (CS Education Research, Experience Reports & Tools, and Curricula Initiatives) which was up 5% over 2018.[1] It is a CORE A Conference.

SIGCSE members often refer to the Symposium as "SIGCSE". As in "Are you going to SIGCSE?" or "I attended her talk at last year's SIGCSE".[2] Thus "SIGCSE" can refer to the ACM Special Interest Group (SIG) that is SIGCSE, or the event that is the SIGCSE Technical Symposium.

Nifty Assignments

The Nifty Assignments session is one of the most popular sessions at the conference. Started by Nick Parlante in 1999, the session serves as a place for educators to share ideas and materials for successful computer science assignments.[3] Presenters have included Owen Astrachan, Richard E. Pattis, Joseph Zachary, Eric S. Roberts, Cay Horstmann, Mehran Sahami, David Malan, and Mark Guzdial.[4]
