Asia 2026 Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of [https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/) There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/) in Mumbai, India! Whether you’re a student, an educator, a community organizer, or someone who’s simply curious about how WordPress connects with learning environments around the world, this table is for you.

At the Education table, we work across four programs: ### **WordPress Credits** [WordPress Credits](https://wordpress.org/education/credits/) partners with educational institutions to integrate WordPress contributions into academic curricula. Students gain resources, training, and recognition for contributing to real-world open-source work, bridging the gap between the classroom and the global WordPress community. ### **WordPress Campus Connect** [WordPress Campus Connect](https://wordpress.org/education/campus-connect/) brings WordPress directly to educational campuses through hands-on workshops and events. These sessions help students discover what WordPress is, how it powers a significant share of the web, and how to start building with it, often for the very first time. ### **WordPress Student Clubs** [WordPress Student Clubs](https://wordpress.org/education/student-clubs/) go a step further by building on-campus communities where students can keep learning and collaborating beyond a single event. Clubs empower students to organize their own sessions, support one another, and develop a deeper relationship with WordPress and the open web over time. ### **WordPress Facilitator Enablement Program** The[ WordPress Facilitator Enablement Program](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/education/wordpress-facilitator-enablement-program/) is a free, open, community-powered program that equips people to teach WordPress topics to others. No prior teaching experience is needed. If you know WordPress and want to help others learn it, whether you’re a developer, educator, freelancer, or community organizer, this program is a great place to start. --- ## **Contribution opportunities** There are plenty of ways to contribute at the Education table, no matter your background or experience level. Here are some of the things we’ll be working on: ### **Review the WordPress Facilitator Enablement Program** The[ WordPress Facilitator Enablement Program handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/education/wordpress-facilitator-enablement-program/) was recently published and we’d love your fresh eyes on it. You can also take and share feedback on the program’s first course:[ Leading WordPress Education Programs](https://learn.wordpress.org/course/leading-wordpress-education-programs/) on Learn WordPress. Your input will help shape how this program grows. ### **Improve documentation and resources** Clear, accurate documentation helps organizers and contributors all over the world. At the table, you can help review, improve, and expand handbook pages and resources for WordPress Credits, Campus Connect, Student Clubs, and the Facilitator Enablement Program. ### **Share your campus or education experience** Have you organized or attended a Campus Connect event? Run a WordPress club at your university? Mentored students through WP Credits? Your real-world experience is genuinely valuable. Sharing it at the table can help shape programs that work better for students and educators globally. ### **Brainstorm and discuss** Some of the best contributions start as conversations. Bring your ideas for how to grow WordPress in academic communities, support facilitators, or make these programs more accessible globally. --- ## **Helpful resources for contributors** Getting familiar with these resources before Contributor Day can help you hit the ground running: * [WordPress Community Education Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/education/) * [WordPress Facilitator Enablement Program Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/education/wordpress-facilitator-enablement-program/) * [Leading WordPress Education Programs (course on Learn WordPress)](https://learn.wordpress.org/course/leading-wordpress-education-programs/) * [WordPress Campus Connect Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/community-deputy/other-event-formats/wordpress-campus-connect/) * [Tracker status guide for WordPress Campus Connect](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/community-deputy/resources-and-tools/tracker-status-guide-for-wordpress-campus-connect/) * [Event Supporter tasks](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/community-deputy/general-supporter-information/event-supporter-tasks/) * [Guide for WP Credits mentors](https://make.wordpress.org/handbook/wordpress-credits-contribution-internship-program/a-guide-for-wp-credits-mentors/) --- ## **Who should join the Education table?** Anyone interested in the intersection of WordPress and education is welcome, including: * Students looking to learn about WordPress and open-source contribution * Teachers and professors who want to bring WordPress into their classrooms * WordPress MeetupMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month).
