Summary

Thousands of educators utilize GitHub to share and manage course materials, distribute assignments, and monitor student progress, often open-sourcing their content for broader use. The platform hosts a variety of educational repositories, including both Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and unique lessons from individual teachers, allowing new educators to adapt and reuse these resources. A curated list of popular courses on GitHub, selected based on the number of forks and stars, features offerings like Ada Developers Academy’s Jump Start and Textbook Curriculums for aspiring software developers, React From Zero for learning React, and Hear Me Code’s Python Lessons aimed at women. Additionally, repositories such as Stanford's TensorFlow Tutorials and the Deep Learning Specialization on Coursera offer extensive deep learning resources. The GitHub Education Community provides a more comprehensive list and additional resources for educators interested in expanding their computer science teaching materials.
