+There are four different major categories of our [CodePath.org](http://codepath.org/) university programs that provide all of these above elements:
 
 1. **Inspire Workshop Series** - These are entry-level courses for freshmen and sophomores in STEM that provide an introductory foundation to product and coding that should be accessible to anyone but targeted to those who have encountered programming before in one way or another.
 2. **Software Fundamentals Series** - This is a three-part series focused on providing an in-depth foundation to make sure students are prepared for the rigorous technical interviews associated with top tech companies including data structures, algorithms, problem-solving, and behavioral interview segments. We provide a three-part series to provide students confidence and readiness for even the toughest interviews.

 The purpose of the events we run and our platform is to directly connect employers to as many students that would fit their internship or entry-level hiring needs as we possibly can. Several times a year, CodePath organizes these “virtual career fairs” (matching events) in which we first collect specific matching data from both students and employers and then use a combination of this intake information and detailed student profiles and performance data to automatically match students and employers for short interviews using our proprietary matching technology.
 
 For each carefully selected match that suggests interested and relevant students based on the employer's specific needs, employers can confirm or reject any matches after reviewing student information. Once the employer confirms the students they’d like to connect with, CodePath directly facilitates short embedded video calls right in the platform, either 1:1 or in small groups. Recruiters can take notes and tag students that they want to follow up with. The platform then facilitates easy follow-ups so that students can be extended offers after the interviews.

 Applying the same principles and workflows to education is one of the best ways to create a sustainable proliferation of high-quality curriculum spread across the world. Leveraging many of these principles will ensure quality and integrity of the experience is maintained as the content is reproduced and propogated.

 **How do people collaborate in open-source?**
 
-Open-source software is developed in cooperation between many different individuals all working together with a specific structured workflow to enable mass collaboration. For example, the [Linux](http://www.linux.com) project has roughly **10,000** people that have contributed to the core alone. Another 100,000+ have contributed to software built in "user-space" surrounding the Kernel itself.

 When building software or curriculum coordinating even 10 collaborators can be immensely challenging. In order to solve this problem, open-source generally adopts structured solutions to make cooperation much easier. These solutions more recently include the use of a distributed version control system called Git.

 Applying open-source to education is a fundamental shift in how the world thinks about learning and teaching. A few examples of how to think about an open-source education model in practice:
 
-* **Living Textbooks** - All learning materials are entirely free and managed by maintainers world-wide. Maintainers help curate and edit the content and ensure that the quality is as high as possible. Think [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) for every single topic out there. These textbooks can be "branched" out by anyone into new versions or new collaborators can request their changes to be pulled back into the core.
-* **Living Courses** - All course structure and materials are entirely free and managed by maintainers world-wide. The maintainers are constantly working together to improve the course materials and structure. Assignments, resources, videos, guides, etc. are all available for online for easy access and modification.

Assignments, resources, videos, guides, etc. are all available for online for easy access and modification. 
 * **Living Tools** - Courses are powered by open-source software tools and frameworks that enable everyone to have a consistent experience. The learning management system itself is completely free and open-source. Any "content modules" developed through collaboration can be easily plugged into the course content tools which provide rich access to the textbooks and course materials.
 * **Transparent Analytics** - Open-source education must be paired with transparent analytics around efficacy. This is in part measured by assessments and surveys baked into the course content that are submitted by everyone that participates in a learning module. These analytics help maintainers and collaborators to understand the most effective content modules.
 * **Distributed Classrooms** - Since the tools, the courses, and the textbooks are entirely free to access and to redistribute, classroom "peers" will pop-up without any friction. A classroom is defined as a location where there are a number of individuals that would like to learn the material as well as an "instructor" (or facilitator) that helps locate a physical venue and create a safe and productive space for interested students to meet and run through the course.
