Teach Computer Science to High Schoolers Using Learning Platform

High school students at the French American International School in San Francisco learned the computer program language Python via free course material on Learning Platform.

A few months ago Seth Hubbert, the Director of Academic Technology for French American International School in San Francisco, got in touch with us with an interesting idea.

Seth had an idea to form a club of students that would learn Computer Science by taking An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python from Rice University together.

High Schools around the world often find it challenging to offer classes in the most recent computer science fields, despite high interest from students. Seth was creative in overcoming these limitations and preparing his students with cutting-edge skills for when they graduate.

Hi Seth, can you please tell us a little more about yourself and the French American International School? What is your background in Computer Science?

I’m a former chemistry and physics high school teacher, and now work as the Director of Academic Technology for French American International School. Our school is an independent Pre-K through 12th grade school in San Francisco. We deliver a rigorous bilingual immersion program through middle school, culminating in either the French Baccalaureate or International Baccalaureate program.

I don’t have a very extensive background in Computer Science. I took a couple of undergraduate courses while earning a B.S. in Physics, but haven’t touched it much since then. I was learning right along with the students!

Tell us a little more about your class/club? How did it work?

The club was comprised of 25 high school students interested in gaining exposure to coding. We agreed to sign up and work through the Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python Course. To support one another, we agreed to meet physically twice a week to help each other with the content and stay on track and motivated.
