My first Koli Calling experience was in 2013. There I was, an undergrad presenting a paper on informal learning through Facebook, feeling like a fish out of water among the senior researchers. I had many doubts: Did I belong here? Would these experts find my work worthwhile? What would they think of my presentation? I…

This was the first time for me at ITiCSE, and just like most conferences nowadays, it was all online over zoom. I did have quite high expectations for the DC and was a…

The title is now “Children Participating in Computing Outreach Activities – A Survey Study on Gender Differences”. We decided to focus…

I started off this autumn with a presentation, together with my colleague Anne-Kathrin Peters, on the topic of “Inclusive Computing Education” at KomTeks national conference in Stockholm. Komtek is an organization that arranges CS related activities for…
