## Curriculum

Our curriculum is curated by the global freeCodeCamp community. This way, we are able to incorporate expert knowledge from volunteers like you.
|
|
|
|
You can help expand and improve the curriculum. You can also update project user stories to better-explain concepts. And you can improve our automated tests so that we can more accurately test people's code.

## Learning Platform
|
|
|
|
Our learning platform runs on a modern JavaScript stack. It has various components, tools, and libraries. These include Node.js, MongoDB, OAuth 2.0, React, Gatsby, Webpack, and more.
|
|
|
|
Broadly, we use
|
|
|
|
- a Node.js based API server
|
|
- a set of React-based client applications
|
|
- and testing scripts to evaluate camper-submitted curriculum projects.
|
|
|
|
If you want to productively contribute to the learning platform, we recommend some familiarity with these tools.
|
|
|
|
