Is AI making CS education obsolete, or is it exposing what we should have fixed years ago? At the #sigcse2026 closing keynote, Titus Winters argues that AI accelerates both what's working and what isn't in CS and SE pedagogy, and challenges educators to rethink assignments, courses, and curricula.

Thank you to our 88 student volunteers who made #sigcse2026 possible and kept everything running smoothly!

A big thanks to the organizing and program committees for making #sigcse2026 happen!

This morning, we celebrated the outstanding accomplishments of Richard Ladner, who was bestowed with the Award for Exceptional Contribution to Computer Science Education, and Paul Tymann, who was bestowed with the Distinguished Service to the Computer Science Education Community Award. (1/2)

Thank you to the many senior reviewers (APCs) that made #sigcse2026 possible!

In today's opening keynote, @amyko.phd is exploring what it means to bring love into computing education, not as an abstract value, but in the concrete ways we teach, research, and build. The talk challenges us to resist hate and cruelty by reimagining our classrooms, scholarship, and institutions.

The SIGCSE program committee is excited to recognize Libby Snoop with the Chairs' Service Award!

The SIGCSE program committee is proud to present our best paper awards this morning! Make sure to catch the talks throughout the conference!

At #sigcse2026, researchers are exploring responsible AI use in CS education research. The session covers practical guidance on accuracy, bias, data privacy, and environmental impact across quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research.

How do we rebuild a genuine culture of intellectual curiosity in CS education? This #sigcse2026 affiliated event session examines how social, structural, and technological changes, including generative AI, have made it easier for students to disengage from real learning.

The demand for qualified CS and AI teachers is growing faster than the pipeline can keep up. Researchers and state leaders are meeting at #sigcse2026 to share models for certification pathways, capacity planning, and preservice preparation that can actually scale.

Doctoral candidates in computing education are presenting and workshopping their research today at the SIGCSE TS 2026 Doctoral Consortium. The DC gives students honest feedback, peer support, and a direct connection to the broader SIGCSE community. #sigcse2026

New CS educators are getting practical support at #sigcse2026. The co-located event "Professional Development for New and Aspiring Educators" is designed to help those transitioning from doctoral research into academic careers navigate teaching, research, and the many demands of faculty life.

We're happy to have the SPLICE workshop return to SIGCSE 2026, bringing together researchers working on interoperability, clickstream analysis, and AI-driven assessment in computing education. #sigcse2026

AccessComputing partners are gathering at #sigcse2026 to share research on accessibility in computing education and connect with others doing this work. The session brings together a nationwide network focused on making computing education more accessible.

We're happy to have support this year from Github Education. At their #sigcse2026 supporter session, they've been helping educators get hands-on with classroom-ready tools, from repository basics to AI-enhanced workflows with GitHub Copilot.
