Curriki, a play on the words 'curriculum' and 'wiki', is a nonprofit organization that aims to bridge the educational divide. Curriki serves as a platform on which to host Open Source Curriculum (OSC), to provide universal access to free curricula and instructional materials for grades K-12.

Curriki’s initial focus is to develop an online repository for K-12 curricula in the areas of mathematics, science, technology, reading and language arts, social studies, and languages. To do this, the organization is partnering with publishers, curriculum developers, not-for-profits, and universities. Once a core repository is developed, the resource will attract a committed community of educators to populate, modify, and enrich it.

Curriki is also reaching out to a broad community of educators to share in, upload, or author content. (Content can be anything from a stand alone learning resource to a comprehensive unit of study.)
