Programming in the Community is a unique course where Rose-Hulman students learn how to become teachers in Computer Science for younger students. As the name suggests, students will go teach CS material to K-12 students at their local school. Students will be assigned to a teaching team to take turns leading and helping follow along projects for the K-12 students. Students are expected to join a weekly instructor meeting on Teams, then take two teaching trips into the community per week (40 to 50 minute lessons). Transportation can be arranged for students unable to travel to the school. Students of any major are welcome to join. This class is a very real-world experience. It is a great way to learn leadership and teaching skills while doing great community service. May be repeated up to 12 credit hours.
