CSTA Philippines is excited to host our in-person meet-up at a partner school in Metro Manila to join the call for Chapter Meetups during this year's annual conference. Because our chapter is a "pandemic baby" (established November 2020), one of the priorities for our chapter is connecting and engaging with our members beyond virtual meetings.
This July 14 meetup features a panel of local experts from gov't., industry, and schools participating in a panel entitled, Reigniting the Passion for Computer Science Education: How to Teach Practical Computer Science?
Other aspects of the meetup will focus on Connecting, Supporting, Teaching and Adapting.
More event details here.
If you are in Manila, please join us!

Subject: *Update - In-Person Chapter Events During CSTA 2023 [Register your chapter's meetup by June 30, 2023]
One of the best parts of any conference is the "hallway track" where one gets to meet and talk to friends and colleagues about the sessions they've attended. Networking and meeting new friends is also one benefit that is difficult to recreate with a virtual conference. With this in mind, CSTA wants to help promote & support in-person gatherings during the CSTA 2023 Virtual Conference!
- First, there is a dedicated time for In-Person Meetups on Wednesday, July 12 (Day 2), after 3:35 p.m. ET.
- Next, when one of your Chapter Leaders completes the following form (one submission per location planned), we'll add your in-person meetup to the conference schedule so that registrants can indicate their intention to attend.
- Then, the disbursement of funds ($20 per registrant who adds your in-person meetup at registration) will happen twice. The first payment will be sent on June 1. The second/final payment will be sent the week after the conference based on the final registration numbers.
- Finally, Chapter Leaders will be able to pull registration reports on demand through an "Access Portal" from Cvent by the end of March 2023.
The deadline to register your chapter's meetup and receive funding is June 30, 2023
