Did you know that MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) offers classes beyond the rocket scientist-computer-multimedia variety but also for artists, elementary school educators, colorists, aspiring urban planners, wheelchair designers, business people, rock climbers, and even chefs?
Better yet, many of these are free to download for your learning pleasure (the perfect thing to do if you are at home sick in bed). After you add the goal to take MIT classes that interest you to your life list, hop on over to the MIT OpenCourseware site to peruse the index.
I plan to study urban planning, queuing theory, organizing for innovation, kitchen chemistry, entrepreneurship, and who knows what else.
And did you expect MIT to have a SuperViva-esque class called Composing Your Life: Exploration of Self through Visual Arts and Writing?
The class includes topics such as:
* Personal and Family History
* How We Portray Ourselves to the World
* Concepts of Race and Gender
* How Others See Us
* Analysis of the World Around Us
* How History Impacts Who We Are
* The Values by which We Lead Our Lives
* How We would Like to Lead Our Lives in the Future
Tell everyone you know about this amazing resource that enriches people worldwide. Thanks MIT!
What do you plan to learn?
