Stanford is doing a thing!
(you need an account to see links)
tl;dr it's a free and open to the public version of one of their introductory programming classes, taught fully remote
I'm sure a lot of people might be interested in learning more about shit, and I know we have a lot of really talented programmers here who might be willing to lend a hand (they need all the educators they can get to make this as accessible to as many people as possible).The time of COVID-19 has been difficult for many people around the world, in many different ways. As an act of community service, a group of computer science instructors is coming together to offer our teaching services free of charge for people who want to learn introductory coding, subject to availability. This is a one time offering for the COVID-19 pandemic.
I'm going to volunteer to teach if it isn't violating any contracts with the place I teach primarily, and the word is spreading in most circles I run in, but figured here might be a new set of people who are interested!

Oh, dang, I kept feeling really awkward even thinking about starting to make the teaching video for the application, and I missed the deadline. I thought it was tomorrow, but that's for the students. I feel pretty lousy about it, but maybe I'll just try to do more at work. Still, would have been a cool thing to be part of!
