Hmm some of these 16 classes look quite interesting to me.
Are there other Makers on island interested in having a study group on any one in particular?
The TEch Entrepreneurship, Crash Course in Creativity, New Learning Environment and Human-Computer Interaction catch my eye most... several of the others do too.
