About

The National Coding Symposium is an exciting opportunity for students and educators to learn, explore, and experiment with activities aimed at engaging all levels of coders. This year the National Coding Symposium comprises two parts, in-person Day of Code events being held across the country throughout the fall at different schools for the blind, and a culminating virtual event hosted by APH on December 10th, during Computer Science Education Week .
The virtual event will consist of panel discussions, special speakers, and both educator and student perspectives. For more details on the activity line-up for the virtual National Coding Symposium event, please visit the APH event page .

Why Attend

Take part in the 2024 National Coding Symposium to empower students with the skills of the future! Students will be introduced to engaging activities that range from introductory computer science principles such as sequencing, logic, and creating algorithms; to advanced programming languages and coding robots.
Educators have the opportunity to explore instructional strategies to make computer science accessible, and be provided lesson ideas and resources to expand student curiosity and learning beyond the symposium.

How to Attend

The National Coding Symposium is a virtual event, so you have the opportunity to join from anywhere on December 10th. But regional in-person Day of Code events are being held across the country, including here at CSB.
