Skillshare Challenge: Reinvent Education with your Dream Learning Plan

Skillshare is a community marketplace to learn anything from anyone. We believe that everyone has something they want to learn and something they can teach to others. We also believe that we’ve all experienced learning in one way or another, and that we’ve all got something to say about how we can improve education. That’s why we’re reaching out to the community to hear your thoughts about reinventing the way that we learn! If you could create one innovative learning plan to acquire a new skill what would it entail, and how would you share your learnings with the community?

When creating your submission, outline 3-5 bullet points of things you’re going to do to learn your new skill. Some examples include taking a Skillshare class, working on X project, joining a Meetup group, reading a certain book, or even backpacking to a foreign country. How will you then pass it forward and share your learnings with the community? Will you teach a class, create a tutorial, design a learning game, be creative! We’re covering $500 of your dream lesson plan to help you open up a world of possibilities. We’re looking for the most innovative plan – build the kind of learning experience you want to have…not one that someone else made you follow!
