+
+[Data8](https://github.com/data-8) began as a large introductory data science class at UC Berkeley. It uses a Jupyter Book for all course materials, and uses JupyterHub magic links to distribute course content from the textbook.
+
+2i2c is working with the Data 8 team to deploy JupyterHubs for community colleges in California that run the Data8 course, to make the infrastructure and content broadly accessible.
+
+Giving people curricula, content, and infrastructure goes a long way to adoption. Communities want to remix content for their specific needs.
