Welcome to the Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges Northeast Region (CCSCNE) 2026 Conference! This annual conference brings together computer science educators, students, and professionals from across the Northeast region.

Join us at the beautiful Wheaton College campus in Norton, Massachusetts for two days of presentations, workshops, networking, and professional development opportunities.

The Consortium for Computing Sciences in Colleges Northeast Region (CCSCNE) is dedicated to promoting excellence in computer science education throughout the Northeast United States. Founded in 1996, CCSCNE brings together educators, students, and industry professionals to share knowledge, resources, and best practices.

We invite submissions for:

• Papers: Research and pedagogical contributions
• Panels: Interactive discussions on relevant topics
