Having attended a day-long state of Calfiornia's BPPE workshop on behalf of WUaS on 2/20/19, the opportunity to license World Univ & Sch after about 11 years has emerged by writing the licensing application - https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf - an amazing milestone ...https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/dragon-blood-tree-bppe-as-further.html

Scratch 3.0 language & Lego Robotics 

World Univ & Sch seeks to STANDARDIZE on Lego robotics for engineering degrees from home in many languages ...

and with a focus too on the Scratch 3 programming language (e.g. https://scratch.mit.edu/users/ScottWorldUnivAndSch/)

- For languages: with Scratch 3's Language Add On / Extension - https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/41424/ - so that learners in other languages can program, with

- Micro:Bit - https://scratch.mit.edu/microbit and https://llk.github.io/microbit-extension/iste18/ and https://youtu.be/JvkdQOo0SAQ

- Lego robotics - EV3: https://scratch.mit.edu/ev3 and WeDo2: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/1269590/ and http://www.legoengineering.com/scratch-and-lego-wedo/

- Potentially with (Lego) Brick Streetview in Google Streetview (on the realistic virtual earth side) - https://experiments.withgoogle.com/brick-street-view and https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/brick-street-view-turns-google-maps-into-lego/ (not there with Scratch yet) and for eventual 1-1 direct correspondence, and with Scratch!

- With TensorFlow for Machine Learning re Scratch and Lego too? Found this only -

Financial reportx:

CFO Larry Viehland's hard drive on his laptop died Monday night.  Since nothing changed recently, you can use the reportx at the end of January.

WUaS continues to seek to facilitate Universal Basic Income experiments 

Begin w SINGLE CryptoCurrency FROM California, which currency could eventually become backed by some portion of central banks in all ~200 countries’ official languages?
