Agenda Items - 


1 

Glad Mwende in Cameroon, Africa, is proceeding with the "CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch" course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - and learning the Scratch programming language in a fun way with coding blocks - which Google course is also CC-4 licensed, like CC-4 MIT OCW itself. Could this Computer Science CS First course be a primer or starter for entry into studying CC-4 MIT OCW itself - ocw.mit.edu - and for free to students' online Bachelor and PhD degrees. Thanks to Mwende for beginning the matriculation process at WUaS in this way for a free-to-student 120 credit unit Bachelor degree.

Growing World Univ & Sch online free Bachelor degrees in Cameroon Africa:

Mwende emailed just this morning, Jan. 11. 2022 :

"For the past 6 years, Cameroon has been going through a series of crises in which the English speaking regions are trying to secede from the French speaking part due to marginalization. But the Government is against it hence the wars, the internally displaced and many issues emanating from the crises. That means, even if people are willing to go in for a free Bachelors degree, there is no guarantee of having a stable internet connection and even stable electricity which is the reason why people are not showing enough interest in this program for now. But once I'll be done with the "Certificate" and gain skills they will have more reasons to follow suit. I am doing everything possible to complete this program and I will even love to take the 4 years' Bachelor's degree if possible as it will boost my countrymen (and women) to see reasons for adopting it and even integrating it as a part of the educational system.

For the meantime, I am very focused on completing this program and using the skills as proof of the churn in more people, in Africa, the best evidence is success hence until you've made it you can hardly convince people about anything."


Mwende: Thanks for the information and news about Cameroon too. Glad both the CC-4 'CS First with Google at World University and School' course and for example this half-length CC-4 licensed "Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python" - 
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/ - have thought through questions of situations where internet connection is not working at times. - Scott


2a
Computer Science Bachelor's degree MAJOR at WUaS (120 credit units with distribution requirements, studying CC-4- CS courses: eg https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ - OCW.MIT.EDU)
Micro-credentials with certificates for some courses at WUaS 

THE 'CS FIRST' class would be worth 3 credit units upon completion of the course, and the "Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python" would be worth 1.5 credit units, and could be followed with its companion course 

All toward a Computer Science MAJOR re WUAS distribution requirements.

Am wondering if the Lego Spike Prime Robotics' Kit will come to interoperate with the Python language courses at MIT OCW. If so, I am wondering how you could get this kit from the WUaS Educational Services' Bookstore and Robot Store. 

So WUaS is thinking about micro-credentialing along the way to a 4 years' 120 credit unit WUAS Bachelor's degree, so a certificate of completion for this "CS FIRST WITH GOOGLE AT WUAS" IS POSSIBLE.

Create in collaboration with Google a WUaS certificate of completion for 'CS First with Google at World Univ & Sch'?


(And in what ways could WUaS begin to facilitate translating the 'Computer Science CS First with Google at World University and School' - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home - into Cameroonian main languages, and especially for a WUaS certificate of completion, in these languages too?)



2b
WUaS Home Robotics in the Engineering major - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/#mechanical-engineering - (Bachelor and PhD) in Cameroon too? 

Lego Spike Prime Robotics' kits for learning robotics and the Python programming languages in Cameroon interoperable with CC-4 MIT OCW?
 
Mwende, Lego Robotics towards an Engineering MINOR for you, Mwende, at OCW Courses' WUaS for your 4 years' 120 Unit Bach degree?




3
WUaS is seeking too to develop a Lego Spike Prime Robotics' course - to facilitate learning the Python programming language - and perhaps beginning in the May term
 
Scratch programming language: Will learning the #Python & #Scratch programming languages follow this FREE course ~ #CSFirst with Google
@WorldUnivAndSch
 - 2022 spring https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz ~ with PLAYING WITH ROBOT BUILDING in #LegoSpikePrimeRobotics' kit?

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1479485590307422208?s=20




4
How best to connect with departments of education in all ~200 countries, and regarding students getting Lego Spike Prime Robotics' kits, and also regarding reimbursement to CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU -centric wiki World University and School? We'll explore this in Monthly Business Meeting, - and potentially via a Google Workspace for Education platform too.

Research question for WUaS at the NSF (National Science Foundation)?

Begin with building out a realistic virtual earth for genetics, and for aging reversal, and longevity machine learning developments at the cellular and molecular levels, as part of building out a single realistic virtual earth for everything, for STEM and as classroom?

In communication with NSF's Alexandra Medina-Borja, and former NSFer Stephanie August (both recent ISSIP panelists)

See:
Northern double-collared sunbird: Research question for WUaS at the NSF? How best to build out a realistic virtual earth for all STEM disciplines and as STEM field sites, and classrooms?

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/01/northern-double-collared-sunbird_0643275698.html


5a

Aging reversal and longevity discussed: 


'My Theory & The Future Of Aging | Prof George Church Interview Series Episode 1'


Aging and Age Reversal focus : 1:01
Why do we age? "I lean pretty heavily on the programming side" 2:38 
"we know how to move that program around with cells ... "
"Age is mostly defined by your genes" 4:57
Living to 120 yo - "there I'm not convinced it's environment or genes" 5:45 
Human aging eradicated by 2030? "I think we will have some sort of aging reversal that works in humans by then" 7:35
"because we already have aging reversal that works in animals" 7:40 
"...and longevity that works ..." 7:45
"But I don't think that aging reversal results in longevity, end of aging, or immortality ... " 8:01

"It probably leads in that direction [immortality]" 8:10

How could the World Univ & Sch and in a realistic virtual earth for genetics too? :)



5b

reason for great hope: with #MachineLearning learn how to #PREDICT #longevity at the cellular level beyond 122 years of age for humans genetically - and for #AgingReversal engineering IN A #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics per  @geochurch & adding genes https://youtu.be/bnCEIPQFNnk ~

How to do some of this WUaS Monthly Business Meeting organization stuff while being in the field at Harbin Hot Springs, and developing my next actual virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project, partly in Google Street View with time slider Maps Earth TensorFlowAI Translate with realistic Avatar Bots Electronic Medical Records -when Zoom doesn't integrate with this in the same way Google Meets do? Seeking to get soaking again, meditation and field work wise!:)

First Actual-Virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book:

7

Wondering if Universitians, or you, Nancy Brazill (who may come to the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting to listen in), might like to join World Univ & Sch, - and if becoming a 'Recording Clerk' might be of interest? And could this lead to an Acting COO (Chief Operations Officer) role, in this early phase of WUaS, too possibly?





8

Abolition movement thinking - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/12/arctostaphylos-glauca-bigberry.html - to protect all 7.9 billion people, wiki teachers and learners, matriculating students in all ~200 countries and in all 7,139 languages, each a Wikidata Pin # or Q item # with machine learning and artificial intelligence, as well as with developing law and law enforcement post the Coronavirus non-Epidemic and related electronic medical records, as well as various virus meme variants becoming endemic (and even regarding World Universitians being models in these regards, and in a Friendly Quaker witnessing way, conscientious objection-wise (eg to war), and ethically too (so abolition of the wrongful buying and selling of people, for example, emerging from the abolition of slavery in 1833 in Britain, and the Emanciapation Proclamation in 1862 in the US, and related legal developments in all ~200 countries, and abolition movement in many other ways).




9

How to connect WIKI people-to-people education at WUaS, in planning for speakers of all 71,39 known living languages in all ~200 countries - all 7.9 billion people brainstorming-wise for free universal education with UBI Experiments to end poverty? Each Universitian a Wikidata Pin #?


So, UBI Experiments with Stanford Mine Pi - https://minepi.com/sgkmac (get your free cryptocurrency money daily here with this code) - to all 7.9 billion people, each a Wikidata Pin #, and regarding 'regulating' the new Mainnet Blockchain Ledger for example, and much more? 


Thus, WUaS is seeking to connect CC-4 ocw.mit.edu-centric wiki World Univ & Sch planning with free people-to-people wiki-education for all 7.9 billion people on the planet potentially, and for speakers of all 7,139 known living languages!

Wiki language communities - 

Mwende, are you a "grasslander" or Bamiléké since you live in Bafoussam, Cameroon  ... and do you also speak French, and a Bamiléké language ( eg 'Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo family')?

I'm curious on World Univ and Sch's WIKI side if people who speak your first or native (?) language could 'secede' into an online language wiki school somehow from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and create an online flourishing community out of this, and even in a realistic virtual earth for languages and with iterating realistic avatar bots too for linguistic developments and conversation?

I would add Mwende Evande's native Cameroonian language if I knew it. 





11
For World Univ & Sch website development in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, in what ways could WUaS collaborate explicitly with Google for related development - and with the state of California too?

WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press 

Agenda Items - 



A

The WUaS Corporation is seeing what emerges next with the state of California in terms of next steps for development, having received and paid a first tax bill in December 2021 for the WUaS Corporation, a for profit general stock company, for 2018, 2019 and 2020, having incorporated as this 3rd WUaS legal entity in 2017 (with an AI chat bot writing the Articles of Incorporation). 

A1
In what ways could the WUaS Corporation begin to list Stanford Mine Pi on the Silicon Valley Long Term Stock Market in planning for all 7.9 billion people each a Wikidata Pin # distributed in all 200 countries via UBI Experiments to end poverty? 


A2
How will Stanford Mine Pi's recent developments with the Mainnet blockchain further make this possible, and even regarding the development of a realistic virtual earth for economics, for buying and selling of digital or virtual objects, and not only at the Street View level - AND IN THE Google STREET VIEW WITH TIME SLIDER, MAPS, EARTH, TensorFlowAI, PEGMAN 'protocols' or INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES - but also at the molecular and cellular levels, eg for pharmaceutical drugs? See this picture - https://twitter.com/PiCoreTeam/status/1471572413078929411?s=20 - in these regards, as well as:

B
How best to develop the Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital WUaS Educational Services' Bookstore and Robot Store in Cameroon, Africa and to make available the 3 Lego Robotics' kits WUaS is an authorized US reseller of virtually?  Collaboration with Google further? (WUaS still hasn't heard back from our inquiry to Lego's Leanna Prater and Stanford Fellow from Denmark and lawyer Soren Jorgensen about our WUaS Lego Robotics' kits' inquiry of last month, and will wait a bit longer to follow up as WUaS develops or grows a potential student body in Cameroon Africa for example).





C
How best to develop the WUaS Academic Press and Publishing further from Google Street View with Time Slider Maps Earth TensorFlowAI Translate with realistic avatar bots and for electronic medical records - to 1) PAPER and 2) #wuAsVR format from actual Harbin Hot Springs itself, partly, (and even for ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy text-in-the-sidebar note-taking) for book writing in GDocs ... to Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital Bookstores in all ~200 countries? 

Seeking to develop my next actual virtual Harbin Hot Springs' Ethnographic book project, in the Academic Press at WUaS, partly in Google Street View with time slider Maps Earth TensorFlowAI Translate with realistic Avatar Bots Electronic Medical Records potentially with Google Meet video conferencing for interactive conversation avatar bot sources and data, integratable with the Google Ecosystem as a whole. 

Here are the 5 books in the WUaS Press presently, available for purchase - http://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity  - 
but not yet in GDocs with GTranslate, and for translation with artificial intelligence and machine learning into all 7139 known living languages, as WUaS moves on from Nozama as printer and distributor, and further seeks to grow our WUaS Academic Press as WUaS builds out partly from Wikidata into its ~300 languages, and then into all 7139 known living languages.
