A podcast episode featuring three WordPress education initiative leaders discussing the rapid growth of three interconnected programs: the WordPress Credits Program (university students earn academic credit for open source contributions, now at 21 partner institutions with 450 enrolled and 75 graduates), WordPress Campus Connect (flexible community-driven events at schools, libraries, and campuses of all levels, reaching 5,500+ students across 42 events and 71 institutions), and WordPress Student Clubs (peer-led in-campus meetups that sustain momentum between larger events). The guests discuss how these programs feed into each other, the importance of facilitator training and resource kits to lower barriers, and the broader goal of building the next generation of WordPress contributors as the current community ages.
