Come and join us! We gather every month on zoom with meetups organised using slack and email, there’s three steps to join us:
- Read and follow our very simple rules
- Join the slack workspace at uk-acm-sigsce.slack.com by emailing Duncan Hull or Steven Bradley
- Find the zoom meeting ID pinned in the
#general
channel, once you’ve joined the slack workspace. Please don’t share the details publicly, we don’t want to be hijacked by zoombombers
Besides communicating by slack and email (see below), you can also join some of our conversations on social media at linkedin.com/company/uk-acm-sigcse.
Once you’ve joined the slack workspace, please feel welcome to post to the #paper-suggestions

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

SIGCSE or SIGSCE?
Congratulations to all the eagle eyed readers who spotted the typo in our slack workspace URL, SIGSCE
should be SIGCSE
. Unfortunately, the typo is baked into the URL now, so it’s not worth changing. Thanks to evreyone who pionted out the spelling mitsake. ๐
