Affiliates Program

The Stanford CS Bridge Program is a Stanford Affiliates Program. The affiliates program provides an opportunity for companies to engage closely with University faculty and students in the Computer Science Department. It encourages corporate interactions through opportunities to interact with top computer science students who serve as Section Leaders and Instructors for the CS Bridge programs.

As required by the Stanford University Stanford CS Bridge Program Researchers will use and develop open-source software, and it is the intention of all CS Bridge Program researchers that any software released will be released under an open source model, such as BSD. The Affiliate Program is open to all Stanford faculty who share this goal.

Program Benefits

Member Benefits Include:

  1. A recruiting opportunity with introductions to our carefully selected Section Leaders and Instructors who are undergraduate and graduate computer science students at Stanford University.

  2. An opportunity to join a Fireside Chat as a panelist during one of our programs. This is a great way for you to engage with students and to talk about your company.

  3. A CS Bridge Impact Report will be shared yearly with information on our teaching for the previous year, outcomes of our AI research for computer science education, and our goals and plans for the coming year.

  4. Exposure through co-branding on the program website.

Program Membership

We have two categories of membership:

  1. Founder at $250k one-time, plus $100k per year

  2. Member at $50k per year

Membership fees are used to cover the costs of offering CS Bridge programs which ultimately extends access to computer science education to students around the world. Fees go towards covering program expenses related to running in-person and virtual computer science courses and compensating the talented Lecturers and Section Leaders from Stanford University and our partner institutions. Membership fees also go towards innovation as we develop new ways to teach computer science.
