Encourage students to use the buddy system when attending a CS conference with a large group to ensure all students are accounted for.
- To implement the buddy system, instruct pairs of students to stick together throughout the entire conference.
- This way, pairs of students are responsible for one another’s safety at all times.
- Make an announcement in which you point out students in your group who have already attended a similar conference so that less experienced students know which peers to ask for help.
