why should i care?

To create wealth you must create value to others. To create value to others you must learn.

Aytekin Tank

THINGS I've LEARNED

teach others to teach themselves.

to recap

Many ways of learning.

Whether through an institution or not, learning is learning.

We should try to engage all levels of knowledge if possible. 

create shared value for others

Teach how to problem solve. Not just copy and paste.

tell. show. try.

Build, break, and fix things together.

Thanks!
