Skillshare Technology Semester

Last month, we set out to create a Semester of Design classes to support the growing demand for accessible and practical design classes taught by people from the director of UX at Disqus and Co-founder of Pixelcloud, Chris Jennings to Twitter’s Design Lead, Yaron Schoen.

This month, we’re looking to complement the Design Semester with a Semester of Technology classes. There’s a mix of fundamental programming classes to advanced level classes that will pique the more seasoned engineers. Again, we’ve set out to recruit and curate teachers that have a love for creating tremendous web products from the engineering team at Behance to the engineering team at Sailthru.

Even better, the folks over at appssavvy have decided to provide a $1,000 scholarship to make these classes even more affordable to attend. Many of the classes will be donating 100% of their proceeds to various charities like hackNY as well.
