I have successfully presented our work on "Teaching, Learning, and Education of Mathematics using Technology" at Ashraf Iqbal Workshops of Pedagogy, Pakistan, during the 3rd Computational Thinking in Schools Conference (CTiS2021), India.

My session was lined up with the Center for Creative Learning, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar, India.

CTiS is an annual event organized by ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) India and the CSpathshala community, which aims to bring together teachers, educators, and researchers to discuss issues with curriculum, pedagogy, policy, and implementation, related to bringing computational thinking to schools.

CTiS2021 featured keynote speakers:
- Hal Abelson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Manish Jain, IIT Institute of Design Gandhinagar
- Patricia Ordonez, University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras
- Wolfgang Slay, Technische Universität Graz Austria

The conference also featured a workshop on CT and inclusion, conducted by Supriya Dey ( Vision Empower Trust) and Manohar Swaminathan (Microsoft Research, Bengaluru), and presentations of selected abstracts with sessions on the implementation of computational thinking, fun activities, and innovative examples used by teachers in classrooms.

CTiS2021 accepted 16 out of 69 submitted abstracts compared to 14 out of 306 submitted abstracts in CTiS2020. 

There were more than 2000 registered participants, and all of the session recordings are available on YouTube.
