LEVEL UP: have you signed up for a workshop yet?

/in ,

Have you or someone on your team signed up for LEVEL UP yet? If not, we need your voice and perspective!  Apply for your regional LEVEL UP workshop now.

As you know, computing education continues to face challenges around inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessible learning. Change is possible with a coordinated effort among computing leaders and faculty. You can help universities and colleges across the country to “LEVEL UP” and implement best practices that broaden participation in computing (BPC).

Join a LEVEL UP workshop and help build consensus on which BPC evidence-based best practices are vital and should be implemented on a large scale. Together, let’s chart a pathway that undergraduate computing programs can implement to offer inclusive computing courses and opportunities where all students feel welcome and thrive.

Regional workshops will be held from August 2023 through March 2024. Join the consensus-building workshop most convenient for you! Learn more and apply here. Local expenses are covered and travel scholarships are available for those with financial need.
