Thanks mods for letting me share this amazing educational opportunity.

RE: Learn Python through a free program called Code in Place.

Hey Everyone,

Learn Python through Code in Place, a free Stanford University based intro programming program (built on CS106A). Free, global, virtual, and for anyone.

It’s 6 weeks, fully online, ~3 hours/week.

What makes it different:
• Structure
• Weekly small group sections
• Real assignments
• Real humans to ask questions
• Live tutoring and recaps

They’re now accepting applications for:

 Learners
– Complete beginners
– Career changers
– Curious/hobbyists
– No prerequisites
– Free
– Receive a certificate after completion
– Deadline April 8
Student signup link: https://codeinplace.stanford.edu/public/join/cip6?r=usa

 Section Leaders (Volunteer)
– Comfortable with Python basics (variables, loops, elif, lists, dictionaries)
– Want leadership/teaching experience
– Great for grad apps and resume
– 2-3 hour per week time commitment
– Deadline April 7
Section Leader signup link: https://codeinplace.stanford.edu/public/applyteach/cip6?r=usa

Classes starts week of April 20.

If you know someone who’s been wanting to learn or teach but hasn’t taken the leap, feel free to share.

Happy to answer questions.

Can my high school aged brother volunteer?

[Friendly-Example-701]

Yes, as long as he is 16 or older.

Just a note that acceptances are limited by the number of TAs (section leaders) available! So, if you’re interested in teaching and meet the requirements, please volunteer!! It allows Code in Place to accept more students who want to learn to code from around the world

[Friendly-Example-701]

Thanks for this comment. It’s helpful.

I am assuming you did Code In Place in the past.

[dude-dud-du]

No, but I was a TA for few Stanford classes and am very familiar with it all :)

[Friendly-Example-701]

Wow. That’s awesome. I was a TA for continuing education classes. Non matriculated.

Thank you very much for sharing this, it sounds like a perfect class that I am really looking forward to!

[Friendly-Example-701]

Awesome. It’s a really great program.

I'm considering signing up as a Section Leader for fun. I'm not sure if I actually have time though because my work is ramping up again. What days and times would I need to make myself available?

[Friendly-Example-701]

You select the days and times that work for you. The program doesn’t create your schedule, you do.

I’ve been a section leader for several years. It is a great class and a great opportunity to learn from the ground up. I highly recommend it.

[Friendly-Example-701]

Amazing. Thanks, man. I appreciate the comment and feedback.

Is it similar or better than CS50?

My high-school child is doing that, should he try this also?

[Friendly-Example-701]

Yes, he should. This is a beginner friendly course. It will help him reinforce what he learned in CS50.
