Who We Are

Oppia Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that aims to provide high-quality education to all. We achieve this through our online platform, Oppia (https://www.oppia.org), the support of our dedicated contributors, and partnerships with NGOs in the communities we serve.

Where You Fit In

Basic scientific literacy is important in our increasingly information-packed and technological world, but many children have limited access to a good science education. We are looking to expand our curriculum to include basic science lessons. To help us achieve this goal, we need volunteers who are detail-oriented and able to write clear and concise explanations of complex topics. You will work with our Science Lesson team to draft science curricula, write lessons and practice questions on scientific topics, and then implement these lessons on our platform.

Why Oppia is an Organization You Want to Work With

Oppia has already served over 2,000,000 users and has a library of more than 2,000 lessons.

Our focus is on effectiveness, and we use rigorous testing and research to create educational materials tailored to the needs of underserved learners. Our meetings are held online, making it easy to collaborate with our passionate volunteers from around the world.

What Our Team Members Contribute

• Design the overall approach to teaching a science topic, so that learners are introduced to key science concepts in an order and within a setting that makes sense.
• Devise questions that gradually increase in difficulty, and that help learners test their skills and understanding.
• Implement interactive lessons on the Oppia platform, and improve those lessons based on feedback from learners.
