Hi friends! :waving_hand:

I’m helping coordinate a new set of Curriculum Expansion Sprints for freeCodeCamp, and I’m looking for contributors who want to get their hands dirty with some real-world code.

The Gist:
Contributing to a massive open-source repo can be scary. To help with that, we are running “Sprints”—small cohorts where we tackle a specific set of issues (like building a TypeScript Workshop or a Python Lab) together.

What you get:

  • Mentorship: Direct guidance from maintainers (myself included!).
  • Code Review: We help you refine your code and get it merged.
  • Experience: You’ll be working with the actual freeCodeCamp production codebase.

Current Openings:
We have open issues right now for:

  • :snake: Python Labs
  • :atom_symbol: JavaScript Objects, Arrays, and Loops
  • :bar_chart: Data Visualization Projects

How to get involved:
To participate, you must be in our Discord (where we coordinate).

  1. Join the Discord: https://chat.freecodecamp.org
  2. Enable the contribution sprints role in “Channels & Roles”.
  3. Read the README on our Project Board here: Naomi's Contribution Sprints · GitHub

We have a “secret word” system to ensure folks are active in the chat, so make sure you pop into the Discord to grab that before claiming an issue!

Can’t wait to see what you build! :rocket:

This is really great opportunity for the whole community, for greater participation; I would request you to ask admin to DM this to all the members on this forum.

As well post this on linkedin and emails as well to the community members.

Thanks,

Vikram

that would be quite a lot of people… People that want to contribute are already participating, that many people seems a bit much, there isn’t an infinite amount of work that needs to be done

I am not about to DM every single forum user - direct communication like that should only be done with explicit opt-in consent.

This HAS been shared on our social media. I do not plan on recommending it for the email newsletter, as there are much more valuable resources to include there.
