SoCap Conference producer and pal Amy Benziger pointed (un)classes out to me when we talked about excuses for combining yoga and biking, and I’m most grateful. The community-powered learning community was created as Rahmin Sarabi’s experiment to see what his friends could teach each other in the name of co-education following a visit to the TED alternative BIL Unconference.
In highlighting the skills that smart folks are willing to share, the site provides a good set of “what to do on a free Saturday afternoon” solutions with the classes’ informal nature and wide range of content. Peer instructors have raised their hands everywhere from SF to Richmond, and the Cloudspace-powered community offers everything from the very practical (Intro to Ruby on Rails and Salesforce) to the fantastic (cheesemaking and Sarabi’s own Bouldering 101). Talk about the joy of learning.
