July 28 - Aug 2, 2019
Grand Rapids is pulling out all the stops to assure an incredible meeting experience!
Welcome to the 2019 Computer Science TeacherCon! We’re excited to welcome you to Grand Rapids July 28 - Aug 2, 2019. This page is your portal to the week’s activities and includes information about your hotel (already booked for you), the agenda, and activity and restaurant opportunities around Grand Rapids. The power of the Teacher Convention is connecting you to other learners and teachers across the state, building a network of computer science educators and engaging you in this rewarding learning opportunity.
Make sure to check with the online Google Sheets where you can sign up for group events. Check out the curated list, compliments of ExperienceGR, which outlines things to do for you and your family if they joined you. Grand Rapids loves its restaurants and beer, so make sure to check out the guides and maps, and find some special discounts. Finally, please make sure to hold Sunday night for the opening event, and Wednesday night for a special evening at New Holland’s Knickerbocker restaurant, hosted by our friends at West Michigan Tech Talent.

Every city has buildings, places and people. Some have community. Some even have vision. But very few have a collaborative, innovative, pioneering spirit. This is what differentiates us. An unwavering belief in who we are...and together, what we can accomplish.
