About TeacherCon 2023
TeacherCon is a virtual professional development conference where educators learn how to teach code the easy way.
Designed for absolute beginners. And we mean it. Absolute beginners.
Provincial and territorial curriculums from coast-to-coast-to-coast are rapidly modernizing to include computer science. That’s a good thing—the world is changing, and we want students in Canada to be ready with the knowledge they need to prosper in our digital world.
With that, we’ve heard a lot of teachers ask: “How can I learn code, to teach code?”
Join us at TeacherCon 2023 and leave knowing coding fundamentals with explicit curriculum connections and assessment options to apply to your teaching in a fun and easy way.
Why join?
- Learn directly from teachers like you, our code squad and partner organizations
- Get free lesson plans to help prepare you for the next school year
- Learn how coding connects to math, science, literacy and the arts
- Get assessment options for every grade
- Leave with a certificate of completion
- Free to attend!
Who’s it for?
- K-12 teachers across Canada
- You’ve got coding in your curriculum, whether it’s a new addition or not (we see you, Alberta and Ontario teachers)
- You want to add creativity and computer science to your classroom
- You’re looking to integrate coding into existing subjects (because you know we all need digital skills)
- All coding skill levels, especially absolute beginners
