Continuing my recap of #SIGCSE2025 - today two more sessions. One by @neilcbrown.bsky.social showing off a nice new Python programming environment and one by Joseph Maxwell sharing a program he built that gives students a chance to learn real SWE skills.

🚀 Our latest paper presented at #SIGCSE2025. @snsie.bsky.social, my postdoc, has developed NeuRL, a no-code, web-based platform for real-time exploring of neural networks and reinforcement learning (RL).

Here's a brief overview 🧵👇
It was my great privilege to be the Senior Symposium Co-Chair for the 2025 ACM SIGCSE Technical Symposium. Organizing a conference of 1700+ attendees was an opportunity to work with a great team of volunteers dedicated to advancing CS education. #sigcse #sigcse2025
I've written up some notes on the #SIGCSE2025 discussion about privacy and accessibility legislation for educational software in a follow-up blog post: academiccomputing.wordpress.com/2025/03/02/f...

Pleasure as always talking about CS education with @csedresearch.bsky.social and some fantastic educators! #SIGCSE2025
Announcing the new stories for SIGCSE Reads 2026!
For this year’s selections, we are looking at ways to empower our students to be positive change agents in our communities. #SIGCSE2025 #SIGCSEReads
I'm in Pittsburgh for the SIGCSE Computer Science Education conference. Loving the city! #SIGCSE #SIGCSE2025 sigcse2025.sigcse.org
Dr. Michael Miljanovic presenting at SIGCSE 2025.
Today Dr. Michael Miljanovic presented our latest paper at #SIGCSE2025. The paper titled “How Effective and Efficient Are Student-Written Software Tests?”, is co-authored by Amanda Showler, Michael Miljanovic, and Jeremy Bradbury. 📄: www.sqrlab.ca/publications...

We had a wonderful visit with Jean Ryoo at #SIGCSE2025! You can find her graphic novel "Power On!" and more at booth 111 during the conference. And keep an eye out; our Spanish translation of "Power On!" publishes later this spring: mitpress.mit.edu/978026255168...
Check out our #SIGCSE2025 paper Opening Digital Doors: Early Lessons in Software Accessibility for K-8 Students dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
In a plenary panel at #SIGCSE2025 on the future of CS education, @mapq.bsky.social suggested that maybe Operating Systems doesn’t need to be a core required CS course… but maybe Human-Computer Interaction should be. I agree, what do you all think?
A bar chart with X axis from 1983 to 2022 “included papers by publication years” which shows 48% in the last five years
If you’re interested in an overview of what’s happening in computing ethics education, check out this paper that Noelle just presented at #SIGCSE2025! dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/... One thing we found in this systematic literature review was that… there’s a lot more of it lately. :)
Great paper on "Experience Report: Using Narratives to Teach Responsible Computing in the U.S. and Nigeria" by Omowumi Ogunyemi reports on integrating computing ethics into courses at a US liberal arts college and a Nigerian technology university #SIGCSE2025
This evening at #SIGCSE2025 I’m helping to run a session on “Toolkits and Strategies for Incorporating Ethics into Project and Capstone Classes”! Or if you’re not here and are interested in this topic, check out this paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...
haha yes if you’re at #sigcse2025 and wondering why I’m not in the ethics session it’s because I’m in the other ethics session which features one paper I’m a co-author on and another paper from a PhD student whose committee I am on :)
Again, love the increase in ethics conent at #SIGCSE2025, but frustrating that the "Ethics, Power, and Persistence" session is scheduled at the same time as the "Ethics" session.
How do we build human-centered Al? • Recruit diverse and top-notch scientists interested in ethical design • Develop policy and funding for human-centered Al - Devise and disseminate new mental models - Fund and incentivize creation of datasets/benchmarks • Study how data science and Al impact people AND design algorithms that take this into account - "To evaluate the risks or benefits of an algorithm, we need to study its impact in people's lives." - J. Nathan Matias • Develop best practices • Teach the next generation of engineers
@ceciliaaragon.bsky.social closes her #SIGCSE2025 keynote with a set of directives on building "human-centered AI" -- all of which are key areas of focus for us at @mudataethics.bsky.social as we train the next generation of computer and data professionals grounded in social & ethical values.

It's the first day of #SIGCSE2025 in Pittsburgh, and we're happy to be here! Swing by booth 111 to browse new and classic #ComputerScience scholarship from the Press. Or, check out our conference landing page: mitpress.mit.edu/sigcse2025/
#CSTAWashington at #SIGCSE2025. I have stickers and about 50 ducks to give away over the next 2.5 days. :)

I'm at #SIGCSE2025 and the opening keynote by @ceciliaaragon.bsky.social reminds us of "Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine" (published in 1958) and what it can help us understand about AI and education & learning today.
At #SIGCSE2025, and queer or questioning? Find us in 327 tonight at 630 before the reception and we will plot, play, and rest.
Bachelor's degree pathways through community colleges by Jennifer Blaney, Jill Denner, Ivy Love, and Christian Servin
Interested in supporting success among computing students who start their bachelor's degrees at community colleges? Come to our #SIGCSE2025 session this Saturday at 1:45pm. We've got a great panel, and we're looking forward to fostering dialogue between community colleges and universities! #SIGCSE
ACM SIGCSE TS '25, Saturday March 1 from 1:45-3pm; "Championing computer science in the early elementary grades"
Excited for my first SIGCSE presentation, with @csedresearch.bsky.social! I'll be on a panel Saturday 1:45-3pm on "Championing computer science in the early elementary grades." Come find out what our data shows about the importance of early experiences with coding! #SIGCSE #SIGCSE2025
I'm looking forward to #SIGCSE2025 and #SIGCSEReads! We have a special session Thursday at 10:45 - come for teaching tips and discussion based on The New Science of Learning by T. Zakrajsek and our BoF on Friday at 12:45 to talk about what we love to read.
New, slightly dramatically titled blog post: The threat to free/open source tools in American classrooms academiccomputing.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/t... State-level US privacy laws are having knock-on effects that threaten use of open source tools. We'll be discussing at #SIGCSE2025, come join us!
