Vision Stand

OpenWorm Curriculum is meant to serve two main functions for the OW community. The first of these involves a means to learn skills that are needed to make contributions. This includes specific disciplinary skills (e.g. coding, biology terminology) and unique interdisciplinary offerings. This function allows us to design content integrated with our existing collection of digital badges. The second function allows us to use curriculum as a community-building tool. Educational content is both a learning opportunity for contributors as well as an opportunity for contributors help refine the curriculum.
