Hi Folks, We have discovered that for some reason, our 1/2 day SIGCSE Affiliated Event does not show up in the events when you register for SIGCSE. We are therefore encouraging all interested parties and POSSE alums in particular to join us at the event. A summary of the event is below.
Let me know if you have any questions, Heidi ===================== When: Wednesday, February 18, 2026 - 1:00-5:00 PM Where: Cervantes Convention Center, St. Louis, Missouri, Meeting Room 105 Description: This half day event will provide an opportunity for instructors to present and share learning materials and to discuss the challenges of courses that include team-based software projects. The session organizers focus on student participation in Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software (HFOSS), but we seek participation from any instructor who teaches software development that prepares students for professional software practice. We are particularly interested in team-based software projects that have all or most of these characteristics: * Students work in teams * The existing or envisioned code base has significant size and complexity * The project has a client * The development process uses mainstream tools, such as a Git-based platform like GitHub This event will consist of short presentations of learning materials and teaching approaches by organizers and attendees. Presentations will be supplemented by discussion among attendees. The primary goal is to give attendees new learning materials and approaches that they can apply in their own classes. A secondary goal is to help attendees meet other instructors dealing with similar challenges in their teaching. Attendees are invited to suggest topics that they would like to discuss and offer short presentations on learning materials or teaching tips that they have found effective in their own courses.
