CS 90SI – CS+Social Good at Stanford Starting September 2015

Hacker News

Although Stanford is renowned across the world for being a center of technology and innovation, never has there been a unified and coordinated effort at Stanford to organize and connect students to take action and collaborate on the world’s most pressing problems. We’re here to change that – CS+Social Good is Stanford’s first student group focusing on the intersection of computer science and social impact. We realized that many students would love to contribute to social good projects, but may not have the guidance or technical knowledge to do so. After seeing how much interest and demand existed surrounding tech for good on Stanford’s campus and outside, we’re offering a new class – CS+Social Good: Using Web Technologies to Change the World. This class, CS90SI, will be taught at Stanford by our team this fall and will be a unique environment where students can learn web technologies by working on real world projects focused on creating positive social change. Project partners like Google, LaborVoices, SIRUM and Delhi Government will support students as they work on small teams to implement high-impact projects. From creating ‘aha’ learning moments for students to matching pharmacies with surplus medications, students will learn and leverage technology to truly build for good and impact hundreds of millions of people. Amazing speakers, social entrepreneurs, and humanitarians like Jane Coyne, a board member of Doctors without Borders, Laura Arrillaga Andreessen, one of the world's most famous philanthropists, will visit the class to share their inspiring stories. You can learn more about the class at cs90si.stanford.edu. Videos of the class will also be put online on the website. You can keep a tab of our updates on our updates page at cs90si.stanford.edu/blog/index.html and follow us on Twitter at @cs90si Thanks, Manu Chopra (Class Instructor)
