Maestro Open

Great education belongs to everyone.

Learning shouldn't be limited by geography, income, or opportunity. We're sharing course materials from our degree programs, openly. Every lesson is adapted to work with AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude, so anyone can learn, anywhere, at their own pace.

How it works

1

Pick what you want to learn

Choose a whole course or a single lesson. Every lesson lists what you'll be able to do by the end of it.

2

Take it to your AI

Open the lesson in ChatGPT or Claude with one click, or press Copy page and paste it into any assistant.

3

Learn at your own pace

Your AI teaches one step at a time, checks you've got each idea, and tells you when to move on.

Open by design

We're starting with our own courses, and we hope to add other open learning materials over time. Everything here is written to be read by people and by AI. Assistants and search tools can find every course and lesson through our llms.txt index.

# Maestro Open

> Open courses from Maestro College's degree programs, written to be read by people and by AI. Give any page to your AI assistant and it can teach you that lesson, following the same teaching instructions our own courses use.

Each course has a full-context file at /<course>/llms-full.txt, and every lesson has a Markdown version: add .md to the lesson's address.
