Call for Proposals Open

We invite educators, researchers, and practitioners to submit proposals for micro:bit Live USA South 2026. We're looking for sessions that are practitioner-driven, hands-on, and directly useful to K-12 CS educators. The conference supports a range of formats designed to honor different ways of sharing knowledge.

Standard Learning Sessions


Share strategies, lessons, or case studies from your classroom or program. Demonstrate instructional approaches and provide practical takeaways educators can use immediately. (~50 min)

 

Deep Dive Workshops


Extended hands-on learning with guided micro:bit activities, collaborative lesson design, or exploration of new tools. Participants experience learning as students before adapting for their own classrooms. (~90 min)

 

Lightning Talks and Quick Strategies


Short, focused sessions highlighting tools, tips, or quick classroom strategies. Ideal for showcasing a single idea, technique, or tool. (~30 min)

Making & Creating


Build, experiment, and create with physical computing tools. Projects might include wearable computing, robotics, sensor-based work, or creative coding and design challenges.

Discussion Roundtables


Facilitate small-group dialogue around shared challenges — integrating computing across subjects, district-level implementation, or supporting diverse learners in CS.

 

Posters and Project Demonstrations


Present student projects, classroom initiatives, or research in a visual format. Engage participants in informal conversation about your work during the Walkabout / Playground time.
