CS Bridge Affiliates Program

Our mission is to help scale up high-quality human-centric computer science education.

CS Bridge is a Stanford University program that sits within the Computer Science Department. We develop projects with a focus on extending access to computer science education beyond the borders of our university.

We have two main priorities that drive the work we do:

  1. Instruction

  2. Innovation

Projects

csB Classic

As a way to facilitate community-centered learning, instructors from Stanford partner with instructors at our partner institutions to teach high school students how to code.

  • We join with instructors at institutions in the following countries: Colombia, Czech Republic, Turkey, and the US

  • Students are taught in their home country and the course is free

  • We train undergraduate students at Stanford and the host institution to be teaching assistants for the program

Code in Place

A large-scale online course that brought together computer scientists and students from all over the world in 2020 and 2021.

  • Trained over 2,000 volunteer teachers and taught close to 22,000 students

  • Free for students

Together with Stanford’s Human Artificial Intelligence Institute and the Graduate School of Education, we are exploring a variety of research directions related to AI-based education research. We are in the process of deciding what our next innovative project will be.

Course-in-a-box

Through our award-winning open-source Course-in-a-Box curriculum, we provide the tools needed for anyone in the world to take the content for an introductory computer science course and easily adapt it to accommodate the local language, culture, and teaching practices. We encourage educators to use the curriculum to launch an introductory computer science course in their community.
