EXHIBITORS
Are you a computer science professional, a industry leader that uses computer science or computational thinking, or a member of higher education working in computer science?
The purpose of this event is to create a better understanding of the wide applications of computer science in the real world by connecting educators with industry professionals and higher education. Due to this, we are being intentional about exhibitor selection. We want to provide an experience where educators are learning about computer science and computational thinking in the context of career opportunities and job embedment. Educators can then return to their classrooms with a greater understanding of how computer science and computational thinking will affect competency development and future employment opportunities for their students.
Exhibitor information can be found here.
