The podcast focused on the rapid growth of educational initiatives in the WordPress community over the past eight months. We talked about the development and distinctions among three primary programs: the WordPress Credits Program (university-level, contributions for academic credit), Campus Connect (open to students of all ages at various educational institutions), and Student Clubs (ongoing, peer-led learning on campuses). The discussion explored how these programs support and sustain each other, lower barriers to participation, and foster the next generation of WordPress contributors, all while emphasising inclusivity, sustainability, and the real-world impact of open source education.
