We gather every month on zoom with meetups organised using slack and email. To get the zoom meeting details you’ll need to join the slack workspace at uk-acm-sigsce.slack.com* by emailing Duncan Hull or Steven Bradley.

Meeting details are pinned in the #general channel but not listed publicly to minimise the risk of hijacking by zoombombers, so please don’t share them publicly.

You can also follow us on social media at linkedin.com/company/uk-acm-sigcse and twitter.com/ukicse

Joining the ACM.org

You don’t have to be a member of our parent organisation the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) but you might like to consider joining it if you’re not already a member, see acm.org/membership/join. Membership has many worthwhile benefits. The ACM is a large global community that aims to advance computing as as science and a profession, see video below on Why I Belong to ACM:

Join the Raspberry Pi Foundation seminars

The Raspberry Pi Foundation runs a free monthly series of seminars on Computing Education Research, see raspberrypi.org/computing-education-research-online-seminars for details.

SIGCSE or SIGSCE?

Congratulations on spotting the typo (SIGSCE which should be SIGCSE) in our URL. Unfortunately, the typo is baked into the slack workspace URL now, so it’s not worth changing. Thanks to everyone who pointed out our mitsake.
