Academy
Curricula for practitioners at the seams.
01Overview
Academy trains the practitioners who move between democracy, media, and technology — through fellowships, cohorts, and open curricula.
Academy exists because the practitioners we need do not yet come out of any single field. Journalists learning platform mechanics. Technologists learning civic operations. Researchers learning to ship.
We run small cohorts with senior faculty, and publish every syllabus. The intent is a self-propagating discipline, not a private credential.
