We're a group of Stanford students designing a curriculum to empower high school students to use tech for impact. We've done this through a 4 week curriculum with two major parts: First, we equip students with the tools for designing for impactful problems through design thinking. Second, we empower them pursue this through coding projects. We piloted the program with 40 students and tremendous success last year, and are looking to bring it to 10 schools nationwide this spring!
A two week series of design thinking activities to address empathizing, defining, ideating, and prototyping for a problem of the student's choice.
Students use their CS skills to build a program that analyzes and classifies real medical patient data using basic machine learning.
Students design and build an Android app that helps individuals suffering from mental health issues locate support groups.
Using our starter code, students can develop a program that measures public sentiment about bullying, immigration, refugees, and more.
