You will also work through [GitHub Skills](https://skills.github.com/) modules — interactive, bot-guided courses that run in your own GitHub account. A bot named Mona creates real issues and pull requests for you, verifies your actions, and guides you through each step. It is the same mechanism used by real open source projects.
