Our goal is to develop a fun and clear interactive learning experience.
Designing interactive coding challenges is difficult. It would be much easier to write a lengthy explanation or to create a video tutorial, and there's a place for those on Medium and YouTube. However, for our core curriculum, we're sticking with what works best for most people - a fully interactive, video game-like experience.
Designing interactive coding challenges is difficult. It would be much easier to write a lengthy explanation or to create a video tutorial. But for our core curriculum, we're sticking with what works best for most people - a fully interactive, video game-like experience.
We want campers to achieve a flow state. We want them to build momentum and blast through our curriculum with as few snags as possible. We want them to go into the projects with confidence and gain a wide exposure to programming concepts.
Creating these challenges requires immense creativity and attention to detail. There's plenty of help available. You'll have support from a whole team of contributors to whom you can bounce ideas off and demo your challenges. Stay active in the [contributors room](https://gitter.im/freecodecamp/contributors) and ask lots of questions.
Note that for Version 7.0 of the freeCodeCamp curriculum, we are moving toward [an entirely project-focused model with a lot more repetition](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/python-curriculum-is-live/).

And as always, feel free to ask questions on the ['Contributors' category on our forum](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/c/contributors) or [our Discord server](https://discord.gg/6vJYm9V).
With your help we can design an interactive coding curriculum that will help millions of people learn to code for years to come.
