UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Undergraduate Student Assistant

We seek undergraduate students who are excited about teaching just and sustainable orientations toward computer science to youth. We are exploring how computer science can be introduced in informal environments through storytelling and critical pedagogies - by partnering with Oakland Public Schools and designing a responsive curriculum that connects core computer science content to explorations of social justice. The project centers storytelling as a core practice, and examines the ways in which computing can enrich the kinds of stories that are being told, and the ways in which they are told. For example, digital storytelling can confront a reader with interactive choices to make, gaming elements that communicate the frustration or joy of particular experiences, multimedia, and DIY explorations that allow “readers” of stories to come to their own conclusions.

Requirements: Students who are proficient Spanish speakers are strongly encouraged to join this project. We seek students with expertise in Computer Science, experience working with elementary aged students, and deep knowledge of culturally responsive pedagogies. Familiarity with computing and digital media specifically for storytelling is a plus.

Pay will be determined based on skill set.

Range: $19.18 Mid $27.09 Max $35.00

Duration: Spring semester
