I've known Michael for two years, and have so much respect for him and his mission. After building TILE, an entrepreneurship-lecture-series-in-a-box that's been used for 280+ events in 43+ different countries, Michael identified that low-income students don't have access to laptops or traditional electronics... only phones. Instead of giving up, he partnered with Babson College, USC, and UCLA to design the world's first text-message university. 👏👏 Excited to see where he goes, and proud to call him a friend. 🤗

@ioffe - This is an excellent idea. Can we buy access to the course now, if outside the US, or should we wait?

@ebrahimkhalil If you are in India, you can register for the course now. Otherwise, we suggest waiting. What country are you based out of?

@ebrahimkhalil Unfortunately, we don't currently have coverage in South Africa. We're hard at work to make it possible, though!

@ioffe This is such a great idea! How about Singapore please?

I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek at the course and it's brilliantly produced. The blockchain definition is just the tip of the iceberg. Fantastic content. Amazing work @ioffe and team!

Really helped me improve some skills and touch up on common phrases

Pros:

Amazing content - can firsthand say I've demo'ed the entrepreneurship and speaking courses. Very helpful and worth it!

Cons:

None come to mind!

Sign up is tough on mobile. I managed to trick it to work but it wasn’t easy. I’ll come back and post about the course itself!

@kartikcooks well done Michael, it's a brilliant work...Allama Iqbal, the poet of East, philosopher and thinker says that God promises to the one who is determined to find novelty, many other WORLDS, much beyond the world we live in now...
