Swiss Day for Computer Science Education 2026

STIU 2026I am happy to share that registration is now open for the 15th Swiss Day for Computer Science Education (“Schweizer Tag für Informatik­unterricht,” STIU), taking place on June 19 at ETH. Note that this is a Friday this year.

STIU 2026

This year's edition will feature 11 workshops for prospect or in-service teachers, or anyone else who is interested in teaching Computer Science in K-12. Topics covered include programming education, STEAM, unplugged activities, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.

I am honored to welcome our special guests Andreas Bollin and Roderick Bloem from Austria, who played a pivotal role in establishing the new subject "Informatik und künstliche Intelligenz," and Michael E. Caspersen from Denmark, where 51 pilot schools (and thus 280 classes) will integrate CS into their curricula.

For the fifth time, the finals of the Swiss CS Beaver Competition together with the award ceremonies will be a part of STIU, and we will award the rector's STEM prize and the ABZ medal of honor to individuals and institutions that have made a special contribution to sustainable computer science education.

I am looking forward to welcoming you at STIU 2026 in a little more than one and a half months.
