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.

TeacherCon makes teaching code to your class as easy as 1..2..3..Teach!

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!

TeacherCon is for teachers looking to integrate coding into existing subjects

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
