Open Source Pedagogy Research + Innovation (OSPRI) is a department within Duke University that focuses on in the intersection of open source and education innovation. The program partners with off campus companies and organizations to provide real-world learning experiences for students from a diverse range of background. Throughout this process, students who otherwise would never get experience with computer science get to be introduced to the subject. As a part of this program, students get to play an active role in determining the direction of their classes to find something that fits their own personal mission.
