About

Hello! Have you ever wanted to learn something by yourself and said "I'll get around to it" but you never do? Life just gets ahead of us! But if we don't take responsibility and explore new things (passions) then we'll never know or get to meet another side of us. In this series, you will pick something that you want to explore and learn about or try. Personally, I will be learning how to play the piano or produce my own music! This series is designed so that you have a sole hour each day to focus on doing the thing you want to. You will have no distractions and at the end of each session, you will have to share what you did for one hour or two (depends on the day). You will have to go into detail about what you did and how much progress you have made. I will also be doing mini checkups every half hour to make sure everyone stays on track. You can honestly pick anything you want for this passion project! Some examples: - Learning a new language - Learning how to play the piano - Learning Javascript - Learning about astrophysics etc. The main goal of this is by the end you should have become some sort of master in your project. In the end, you will have to present a final project. You will have to use ALL FREE RESOURCES. You will not be allowed to get a paid course, the reason for this project is to research on your own. However, if you are learning robotics or something that requires materials then you may need to get some materials to make your robot (that is allowed). You will have to state all the resources you are using for the project. Other than that I hope that you all join this series and have lots of fun learning about what you may or may not love.

Orientation

Welcome! In this session, we will be introducing ourselves, playing some scribble, and music to get our creative side going. We will also be exploring different passions and in the end, you will have chosen something to work on. I will also be putting everyone into individual breakout rooms and helping everyone find some starting resources. In the end, we will all share what we are working on for the next couple of weeks and what we are using and doing to get there. We will also be discussing potential final projects! Hope to see you there :)
