Typo: "cirricula" should be "curricula" (or rephrase to "creating curricula").

The prerequisites list no longer states version requirements, but the repo enforces specific minimums (Hugo extended min 0.146.0 in hugo.yaml and Go version in go.mod). Please add the relevant minimum versions (or point readers to these files) to avoid setup issues due to incompatible toolchains.

The centered callout uses emojis and ALL CAPS text inside raw HTML. This can reduce readability/accessibility and may render inconsistently across Markdown viewers. Consider switching to a standard Markdown blockquote/admonition style with normal casing (while keeping the link).
