The Midwest Instruction and Computing Symposium (MICS) 2025 was hosted here by the Augsburg Computer Science program for the second year in a row. 150 students along with 32 faculty from 20 different schools across the five state areas participated. From Friday afternoon, April 4, to Saturday lunchtime, April 5, over 40 student and faculty presentations were made, four teams participated in a robotics contest, and 36 teams – including three from Augsburg – participated in a coding contest. Three Augsburg Computer Science students presented their research. Kudos to the Computer Science program and especially Prof. Erik Steinmetz for successfully pulling this event, and to all students participating in and helping to organize this event.
