2021 has been a big year for the freeCodeCamp community:

• We provided more than 2.1 billion minutes of learning to millions of people around the world.
  
• We published our 300-hour Relational Database Certification teaching SQL, Linux, and Git interactively – right inside VS Code.
  
• We shipped a project-oriented learning overhaul to freeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design certification.
  
• We published more than 130 full-length video courses on our community's YouTube channel, and more than 1,000 text-based tutorials on our nonprofit's publication.
  
• We made steady progress on the Data Science Curriculum Expansion and will ship parts of it in early 2022.
  
• We even published Learn to Code RPG, a video game simulation of the process of learning to code and getting a developer job.
  

So you may be wondering: what's next? How do we help even more people from here?

Our goal:

To provide a computer science bachelor's degree...

from an accredited US university...

for free.

We want this degree program to be freely available to anyone anywhere on the planet – regardless of their socioeconomic background, or their ability to obtain a US visa.
