We've got two more cohorts of the Meta Course starting this month — and we're trying something new, with themed cohorts, anticipating our development of Hyperlink Departments.
These aren't quite open for enrollment yet, but we're planning:
As always, you can submit ideas for courses (to develop in the Meta Course) and clubs (to try any time) here: courses + clubs.
If you have an idea you think would be a good fit for one of the themed Meta Courses above, let us know!
