Making Literacy
What does it mean to be “literate”? What does it mean to be literate in a particular discipline or activity or context? Engage these challenges to unpack “literacy.”
Digitizing Education
One key change to education in the last 50 years has been how networked/digital it has become. These challenges will give you opportunities to explore digital elements of education.

We like to think of Education as the great “leveler” — making open all possibilities for all people — but research suggests that’s not true. These challenges allow you to think through how might make education a more socially just project.
Educational Hacker
If Education doesn’t work for you, how do you fix it? How do you hack your own education to make it as meaningful as possible to you? These challenges offers you chances to explore ownership of your own learning.
