The CTiS (Computational Thinking in Schools) conference is an annual event organised by the ACM India (Association for Computing Machinery, India) and the CSpathshala community. It aims to bring together teachers, educators and researchers to discuss innovations, best practices and issues pertaining to curriculum, pedagogy, policy and implementation, related to bringing computational thinking to schools.

CSpathshala is an ACM India initiative to bring a modern computing curriculum to Indian schools. In our National Education Policy 2020 and in many countries across the world, Computational Thinking (CT) has been identified as one of the essential subjects to be taught and a critical skill to be developed in children during the school years. It advances the notion that the Mathematics and Science behind Computer Science go far beyond the simple ability to use computers, and can be taught and discussed in schools even without the use of computers. The first CTiS conference was held in Pune in April 2019 and the current CTiS2025 is the seventh edition.

All six editions were highly successful and were well received by teachers and educators. CTiS2024 had over 70 teachers from 14 states of India presenting abstracts across various thematic areas, including CT and Mathematics Education, CT and Science Education, CT and Societal Problems, CT and Inclusion, CT and Coding, and CT and Physical Computing. These were followed by presentations from organizations. There were 29 poster and demo presentations by teachers from various states of India. Notably, the presentations on CT and Inclusion were a highlight of the conference.
