The K12 Engineering Education Podcast episodes
- Teaching Computer Science Remotely to KidsVivian Shen and Ruby Lee want to teach kids how to program one-on-one over the internet. Vivian and Ruby are Cofounders of Juni Learning, their new educational startup that provides programming lessons to kids like how others provide private piano lessons. Although they both studied computer science at Stanford, they got to computer science at an older age than the kids they are now serving. They talk about why they started Juni Learning and the benefits and challenges of teaching CS live online.Related to this episode:• Juni Learning: https://junilearning.com/• Email Juni Learning: [email protected]• Stanford Computer Science: https://cs.stanford.edu/• Kleiner Perkins, or KPCB: http://www.kpcb.com/• Python: https://www.python.org/• Scratch: https://scratch.mit.edu/• AP Computer Science: https://apstudent.collegeboard.org/apcourse/ap-computer-science-a• Neopets: http://www.neopets.com/• w3schools: https://www.w3schools.com/• bioinformatics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioinformatics• Coterm program at Stanford: https://undergrad.stanford.edu/advising/coterm• “The Socratic Method: What it is and How to Use it in the Classroom”: http://cgi.stanford.edu/~dept-ctl/tomprof/posting.php?ID=810• USA Computing Olympiad: http://www.usaco.org/• Stranger Things on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80057281• Hour of Code: https://hourofcode.com/us• Pair programming: https://www.agilealliance.org/glossary/pairing/• Code.org: https://code.org/• Code Academy: https://www.codecademy.com/• Computer Programming at Khan Academy: https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programmingOur closing music is “Yes And” by Steve Combs, used under a Creative Commons Attribution License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Subscribe and find more podcast information at: http://www.k12engineering.net.
