I started a couple of years ago teaching people in my social circle about programming. Then doing hands on things with microcontroller boards. I moved to the RPi and have been slowly forming a group of want to be learners (harder than it sounds). Challenges are purely economic. I have a full time job and work long hours. Plus I do side work to pay for everything related to ASIMUV (it's not a startup). Teaching comes naturally and I'm married to a wonderful ESL teacher. Giving the classes is not the hard part. Mostly getting a good place to teach and getting the proper resources is. I recently threw together a website and it's lacking on content. My goal for the next three months is to blog about the experience. You can go to the website and subscribe to the mailing list. It's not commercial and it's aimed at keeping people up to date.
I think the reason don't do it more often is because life gets in the way. It's hard to work long hours and then sit down to do something else. But thankfully I've been blessed with lots of energy! :)
- nickpsecurity 11y agoOh OK. So, not an ordinary business needing email, file servers, web, etc. Just needs hackabld computers to teach folks to hack on computers. That makes more sense. :) Good luck to you. Btw, just to know Im reading it right, what does the ESL mean here?
- asimuvPR 11y agoYes, teaching people how to use computers as tools more than anything. ESL means English as a Second Language. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_as_a_second_or_foreign_language https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_as_a_second_or_forei... Thanks!
- nickpsecurity 11y agoOh OK. That's cool.
