Classes & Curriculum

Here is a comprehensive list of all of the classes that ACM Teach LA provides! You can find more information about what the class is about, its learning goals, and its curriculum. Part of our mission is making our education truly accessible, and that involves open-sourcing as much information as possible: everything our instructors have, you'll find here.

We're still hashing out renewing existing partnerships and seeking new ones - if you're interested in working with us, please shoot us an email at acmteachla@gmail.com!

Pardon our byte dust. This page is a current work in progress, bear with us! We're currently digitizing and standardizing all of our internal documentation.
