About Curriki
Curriki is a social entrepreneurship organization that supports the development and free distribution of open source educational materials to improve education worldwide.  The online community gives teachers, students and parents universal access to a wealth of peer-reviewed K-12 curricula, and powerful online collaboration tools.  Founded by Sun Microsystems in 2004, the organization has operated as an independent nonprofit since 2006.

Curriki originated from the idea that technology can play a crucial role in breaking down the barriers of the Education Divide - the gap between those who have access to high-quality education and those who do not.  Our initial focus is on K-12 curricula in the areas of literacy mathematics, science, technology, language arts, and foreign languages. The site has already been translated into Spanish, French, Hindi and Bahasa. Moving forward Curriki aims to become a primary resource of Arabic language reading and curricula materials as well.
