<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">The event will be held on October 25, 2019 at the TCF Center (formerly COBO Center) in Detroit, Michigan. The Summit will offer
<span style="color:#13161A">innovative learning opportunities to connect statewide work in the areas of computer science and technology, including the implementation of the new K-12 Computer Science Standards (adopted May 2019) and the Michigan Integrated Technology
Competencies for Students (MiTECS). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
