About Code in Place 2023
It is a free, human-centered, intro-to-coding course from Stanford University. Our goal is to offer the highest quality free coding course to many students from around the world. Thousands of passionate teachers, decades of experience making coding joyful at Stanford, our uplifting community of learners, and a small touch of AI, when helpful. Learn (or teach) the first half of Stanford’s flagship intro to python course, CS106A.
- CS106A is one of the most popular courses at Stanford University, taken by almost 1,600 students every year. It has been developed over the last 30 years by an amazing team, including Nick Parlante, Eric Roberts, and more. The course teaches the fundamentals of computer programming using the widely-used Python programming language. This course is for everyone from humanists, and social scientists, to hardcore engineers.
- What makes Code in Place special? We recruit and train one volunteer teacher for every 10 students in order to create a vibrant community of teaching and learning. We believe that the magnitude of people who want to teach computer science is large and may be roughly proportional to the magnitude of people who want to learn. Why? Teaching is joyful and teaching is the best way to learn both content and team-leading skills.
