CodeGrade at SIGCSE 2026

We had a blast this year at SIGCSE 2026 in St. Louis! This marked our 7th year attending the symposium, and with 5 members of the CodeGrade team, our largest team to date attending in person. We had an amazing time speaking with everyone and learning more about the latest trends in computer science education and how we need to continually evolve our curricula during these complex times.It was wonderful seeing so many familiar faces in St. Louis. Here’s to making 2026 the most innovative year for CS education yet!

What is new with CodeGrade? We’ve expanded our paid tiers to include deeper, more intuitive AI-powered features. 

  • Fully configure your AI experience by selecting your models, establishing guardrails, and provide contextual awareness to the LLM to deliver precise, assignment-based feedback to every student
  • Our Integrated AI Assistant acts as a built-in tutor for students that understands the specific context of your assignments.
  • Gain visibility into how students are interacting with AI, allowing you to use those insights to improve subsequent submissions and refine your teaching strategy.

Want to see these AI tools in action? We are hosting a deep-dive webinar to show you how to integrate AI into your workflow effectively.
