Co-Teaching Computer Science Across Borders: Human-Centric Learning at Scale
summary
CS Bridge presents an open-source course-in-a-box (Java and Python) that localizes lessons, slides, assignments and section leader guides so high schoolers go from powering on a computer to coding a graphical Breakout game in ~9–14 days. Over six years the curriculum teaches 1,000+ students across Colombia, Czech Republic, Turkey and Guinea, yields ~+1 point on identity Likert scores, has students finish Breakout faster than university peers, and scales via cross-border co-teaching with trained undergraduate section leaders.
