  Hi All, Today we’re going to take you on an inside look at the Mechanical MOOC.  We’re going to walk through it’s history, what’s happening now, and where we are headed with it. The MOOC has been an ongoing learning process and we’re made some major strides along the way. For this article, we [...]

It’s that time of year when we reflect on what we have done the past year and plan for the year ahead. Before we tell you about the projects that will be happening in 2013, we should talk a bit about our overarching strategy for technology. We build tools for open learning on the web [...]

How would you define the P2PU community? 2. What are your big goals for 2013?   Hopefully our self-definition becomes our “compass” [...]

Since launching in 2010, over 800 school-age girls have programmed 163 mobile phone apps and learned to launch a startup company. This year, as [...]

Here at P2PU, we’re not all that used to getting donations. In fact, we had no idea how good it feels when people give you money out of the kindness of their hearts. But in the last week we’ve received donations totalling over $150 from users of the Mechanical MOOC and we’ve never felt so loved. [...]
