As President, CEO, founder, Professor at CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School WUaS (seeking to hire eventually MIT & Harvard graduates as faculty, for ex.), my plate's pretty full  but looking forward to learning what being a Committed Listener involves & regarding growing a #RealisticVirtualEarth for everything (and think Google Street View with Time Slider, GMaps, GEarth with TensorFlow AI and at the #GCell and #GMolecule levels too ... and with little Pegman becoming our #AvatarAgentElectronicHealthRecords and for aging reversal genetics especially) and see too this INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article from Peter Norvig mentioning a Realistic Virtual Earth for the first time other than WUaS - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - and Twitter as well.

All the best, thanks, see you soon,
Scott

Please note that in addition to the three Bootcamp modules held on Jan 20, 22, and 24, we are also hosting 6 office hour sessions at the times indicated above. Please join any office hours sessions to ask questions from our HTGAA teaching assistants present! 

The first official class for HTGAA will be held on Tuesday February 4, 2-5p ET. This will be in-person at the MIT Media Lab for registered MIT and Harvard students and virtually for all global students. 

For global students, you can participate in HTGAA at two levels:

(1) as a ‘Global Listener,’ where you can join virtual lectures at your leisure, with no expectations of completing any work.

(2) as a ‘Committed Listener,’ where you will work on all homework, individual and group final projects alongside registered MIT and Harvard students.

We will discuss both levels of participation in greater detail at class #1. For now, we look forward to seeing you at the boot camp on Monday!

Sincerely,
David and the Bio Bootcamp Teaching Team
