CS 106S is a survey course on the applications of fundamental computer science concepts from CS 106B to problems in the social good space (such as health, environment, cybersecurity, trust & safety). Some of the topics we will cover include satellite imagery, tumor classification with basic machine learning, sentiment analysis of tweets on refugees, and the ethical obligation of good security. We introduce JavaScript and the groundwork of web development, with no expectation of prior experience in these areas. Recommended prerequisite/corequisite: CS 106B.
