Skillshare Launches Local Tech Classes in Boston!

Looking to get your hands dirty with Photoshop? Determined to learn how to code? Want to know how to communicate with tech folks even if you don’t know the first thing about programming?

Skillshare is excited to announce a curated selection of Tech classes in Boston to satisfy those itches (and more), with classes beginning on October 10th and running through  November!

Tech in Boston isn’t all though - we’ve also lined up a terrific group of online classes centered around Entrepreneurship that can be taken anywhere in the world! In these collaborative, project-based classes, students can, among others things - create a wireframe for their product’s UX, learn how to design, source, and manufacture their product idea, and even a build a business model to stay in business forever with VC Fred Wilson! These classes all start between October 1st and the 15th, so be sure to register soon! 

To sweeten the deal, our friends at Greenhorn Connect are sponsoring $500 worth of $10 scholarships for Boston students to take Tech or Entrepreneurship classes (either local classes in Boston or Hybrid classes)! To receive your scholarship, just register for any Tech or Entrepreneurship class ($10 or more), and you’ll receive $10 back via Paypal within 1-2 weeks! Note - to qualify for the scholarship on Hybrid Entrepreneurship classes, students must live in the Boston area, and must forward their Skillshare confirmation emails to Akaash@Skillshare.com.
