Midwest Instruction and Computing Symposium

The Midwest Instruction and Computing Symposium (MICS) is a regional conference dedicated to providing an educational experience to higher education participants across the five-state region of Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. The conference focuses on integrating computer-based technology into teaching and learning processes of all disciplines, along with incorporating the study of this technology into the curriculum. Conference activities include technical paper sessions, programming and robotics contests, a keynote address, and a Career Fair for student participants.

The Symposium was established in 1967, making it one of the nation’s oldest conferences focusing on computer-related issues at smaller higher education institutions. MICS was formerly known as the Small College Computing Symposium.
