Proceedings of the Brazilian Symposium on Computing Education (EDUCOMP)

The Brazilian Symposium on Computing Education (EduComp), promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC) through its Computing Education Interest Group (GIEC), is an annual event bringing together researchers and educators in the field of computing education to share new ideas and results on the design, development and evaluation of programs, curricula, courses, projects, activities, tools and materials related to teaching and learning computing.

The Proceedings of the EduComp are published annually, bringing the articles selected for each edition of the event.
