Oppia Foundation
Oppia is an open-source educational platform that enables anyone to create and share interactive lessons, called explorations, directly in the browser. It focuses on active learning by allowing users to engage with content through questions and feedback, rather than passively consuming information. The platform is designed to make high-quality education accessible to everyone, especially in underserved communities around the world.
How to support
The best way to support is by contributing, whether that’s code, documentation, design, or even just reporting bugs. If you're new, start small: fixing good-first-issues, improving a doc, etc. Sharing the project, giving feedback, and helping others in the community also goes a long way.

One FOSS maintainer lesson for your younger self
Don’t wait to be “good enough” to contribute -- start early, break things, ask questions, and learn in public. Consistency beats perfection every time.
Why do you do it? Why do you bother maintaining a FOSS project?
Because it scales impact. A single contribution can help thousands of people, and that’s powerful. Also, the community, the learning, and the sense of building something meaningful with others keeps me going.

What's your open-source villain origin story?
Started by fixing a small bug… then another… then suddenly I was reviewing PRs at 4 AM wondering how I got here.
