CodeGrade at CanvasCon Europe 2019

For the last two days, we attended CanvasCon Europe 2019 in the always sunny Barcelona! We have always had a special place in our hearts for Canvas, so we were excited to have our first ever booth at their conference. Canvas was the Learning Management System we developed the first version of CodeGrade for, more than two years ago and still a large portion of our partners use Canvas.

During these days, we had the chance to meet and talk with many people from European institutions, other EdTech companies and Canvas itself. Thanks to everyone stopping by our booth, even if it just was for a quick chat and a stroopwafel. We are looking forward to improve programming education at more European institutions we talked to and to further work together with the team behind Canvas to support their awesome Learning Management System even better than we already do.

We hope to keep in touch with everyone and hopefully talk again at a next Canvas or EdTech event! Next month, we will return to the (hopefully still sunny) Barcelona to attend MoodleMoot Global 2019! Let us know if you are there too!
