Stanford PinCS

Our Mission

← Back to Home

Our mission is to make computer science (CS) accessible to middle and high school students by embedding core CS ideas into existing secondary school courses such as biology, statistics, economics, environmental science, and their corresponding AP and IB programs. We design interactive, interdisciplinary lessons that integrate seamlessly into current curricula, supporting teachers in reinforcing established learning objectives rather than replacing them.

Through hands-on simulations, modeling, and data exploration, our lessons help students use computational thinking to explore real-world questions within subjects they are already learning. Introducing CS in this context shows students that it can be a powerful tool for understanding and engaging with content across disciplines.

Our intuitive platform also allows teachers to create and customize their own modules and lessons, with AI-powered tools that make it easy to incorporate coding activities regardless of prior programming experience.
