+%h3 The Course: Introduction to Political Technology
+%p The course is made up of three pillars: core modules, advanced modules, and the tutor system.
+%h4 Core Modules
+%p Three core modules anchor the course. They are:
+%h5 Governance
+%p In this module you will learn theories and concepts about how groups and organisations work (and don’t)—and get to try them out in practice with your fellow participants! You will experiment with innovative governance infrastructure, explore how to diagnose and solve patterns or problems unfolding in a group, make and judge unconventional proposals, assign and inhabit roles, resolve conflicts, and reflect on the opportunities and challenges of collaboration.
+%h5 Fieldwork
+%p There are two empirical entry-points into the field of political technology. The first is to study real political and civic organisations to see how they work and what infrastructure they deploy. The second is to collect and study technology that people make explicitly for ideological reasons. In this module, we will do both!
+%p
+  Your explorations in this module will be supported by college librarian Matt Stempeck, who maintains the 
+  %a{:href => "https://civictech.guide/"} Civic Tech Field Guide
+  \, the largest existing repository of political technology projects. You will have the opportunity to contribute your discoveries to the Guide!
+%p This module also includes the Experimental Grantmaking Exercise, in which participants apply the new theory and skills they have learned to a difficult and unsolved real-world decision-making problem: impact evaluation and co-budgeting. The exercise also provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on their own values and priorities as they relate to political technology.
+%h5 Prototype
+%p The culmination of the year’s work. You will produce an original project in the landscape of political technology—such as an organisation or software application—both to demonstrate your sophisticated understanding of the field and to have an ongoing real world impact.
