Under the leadership of Professor Dennis Komm, the 13th Swiss Day for Computer Science Education (STIU) took place at ETH Zurich on 12 June 2024. The event, organised annually by the Centre for Computer Science Education (ABZ), provides a platform for computer science, mathematics, and physics teachers as well as primary school teachers to exchange ideas with researchers. It aims to inspire and introduce exciting teaching concepts for computer science.
