Teach-rs is a modular university course for teaching Rust programming language to computer science students.
The project addresses the need for structured, reusable Rust education material in higher education institutions. Rather than providing a fixed curriculum, teach-rs is designed as a toolkit that educators can customize to their students' needs. It provides slides, exercises with templates, and tools to help teachers select material while ensuring essential concepts are covered. The approach recognizes that different institutions have different requirements, so the material is intentionally modular to support varied course designs.
Teach-rs suits educators at universities, applied science institutes, vocational schools, and community colleges who want to teach Rust but need a foundation to build from. It is not intended as self-teaching material or a comprehensive textbook; instead, it complements external resources and the Rust compiler itself as a teaching tool. The project deliberately excludes exercise solutions, expecting students to reflect on their work and learn from compiler feedback, which aligns with higher education pedagogy.
The project maintains an open development process with a Matrix channel for community discussion and explicitly welcomes contributions and feedback. The maintainers acknowledge that the repository is not yet as exhaustive as intended and actively solicit improvements from users. The material is licensed under CC-BY-SA, making it freely available for any purpose while encouraging modifications to be contributed back to the project.
