Engaged CS Teachers

Engaged CS Teachers is for high school computer science teachers. Plan engaging lessons with ease.

Why you should join: Hands-on, classroom-tested computer science activities and resources from a teacher with over ten years of experience, accessible even for beginners. Free to join.

The one-liner

A free resource hub where a veteran teacher shares hands-on computer science activities for high school classrooms.

What they actually sell

Engaged CS Teachers, run by Alex Schenk, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "A hub for hands-on, accessible computer science activities for high school teachers, built to make planning easier and boost student engagement." It is free to join. The promise centres on ready-to-use, hands-on computer science activities from someone teaching in a real classroom. Inside sit 7 courses.

Who pays and why

High school computer science teachers short on planning time and hungry for activities that actually engage students. The stress is building every lesson from scratch. They join for ready-to-use, hands-on computer science activities from someone teaching in a real classroom.

Where the members come from

The Skool lander and Alex Schenk's own teaching appear to be the main acquisition path. Public social links are thin on the about page, so growth reads as community-led rather than a giant media brand. Exact follower counts stay off the about page.

What's holding it back

A free resource hub runs on one teacher's spare time. If new activities stop arriving, members have little reason to log in.

Steal this

Share the lessons you already use in your own job and let other practitioners borrow them.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any teacher subject with planning pain, such as science or languages. Weak outside education.
