Further World University and School website updates – worlduniversityandschool.org - with new majors and how to apply for free-to-students’ best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric, and now edX-centric, online Bachelor’s degrees will occur after 30 November, 2020. 


For students, WUaS will first contact heads of WUaS in other countries, and then reach out to college counselors at, for example, academically high achieving Shady Side Academy, in Pittsburgh, PA, and Fettes College (I.B.) high school in Edinburgh, Scotland. 

If WUaS starts getting further student applicants, they can matriculate in January, 2021. Later student applications can wait until May 1, the beginning of the following term. 

World University and School is currently evaluating the edX courses for the World University and School web site academically; in what ways has edX vetted their courses is one question in this process.

Here is the beginning installation of WUaS Wikibase database (potentially in Wikipedia’s 300 languages) newly in WB Stack, With this WUaS has created the beginnings of a course catalog, coded I think in SQL, and with students as ‘individuals,’ and these items to begin -

World Univ & Sch continues to seek to develop 3 courses in each of 3 physical Lego Robotics' kits for #WUaSHomeRobotics' combining both actual & virtual - #ActualVirtual #PhysicalVirtual w #Scratch3 in #GoogleTranslate' ~100 langs : #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego & #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics & re https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/


World Univ & Sch is seeking for departments of education in all ~200 countries to reimburse WUaS for CC-4 best STEM OpenCourseWare-centric World Univ & Sch free-to-student degrees, and potentially for each of the 3 Lego Robotics' kits in the poorer countries, if students matriculate for 4 years' degrees or similar - and for 'WUaS Home Robotics' - https://twitter.com/hashtag/WUaSHomeRobotics?src=hashtag_click -

Minutes for November 21, 2020 WUaS Corporation Board Meeting 




Present:

-       Larry Viehland (acting CFO WUaS Corp and Board member)

-       Scott MacLeod (acting President/Recording Clerk, Board member and Founder/Facilitator of the emergent WUaS Corporation)



Here are the Minutes for November 21, 2020 Minutes for the WUaS Corporation:

-


The WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press


A

The WUaS Corp filed taxes for 2017, 2018, and 2019 in CA recently with the Frachise Tax Board, but hasn’t yet heard back. 


B

Regarding facilitating a single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries’ nation states (backed somehow by most of ~200 countries’ central banks), and for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages (and potentially all 7.8 billion people on the planet) – as wiki teachers and learners at WUaS, each a Wikidata Pin #, Wikidata Q-item # or a WUaS Q-item #- via Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments, to alleviate poverty, I successfully installed Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency yesterday - minepi.com/sgkmac (and you can too) – which is mine-able, and could become the basis for single crypto-currency.


The Stanford 'Mine Pi' crypto-currency involves the block chain ledger, and WUaS is beginning to explore bringing the Stanford Mine Pi blockchain together with the emergent WUaS block chain for WUaS degrees. 


You can get free Stanford Mine Pi crypto currency by joining its network using this code - minepi.com/sgkmac - 



See, for example: 


Free #Stanford mine-able "Mine Pi" #cryptocurrency Use this reference code: http://minepi.com/sgkmac & How will digital cash, bills, coins be encoded re networks? "What would a Co-op Coin ICO look like?" https://open.coop/2018/01/25/co-op-coin-ico-look-like/ #WUaSBlockChain #MinePi

It may be something like Co-operative’s legal entity law, which WUaS explores developing the “Mine Pi” crypto-currency in many countries as legal tender too.  See, too the Cooperatives’ wiki subject at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Cooperatives.


WUaS may also seek to develop with the “Mine Pi” crypto-currency regarding receiving reimbursements from departments of education in a ~200 countries’ nation states. 



C

WUaS may also seek to develop with the “Mine Pi” crypto-currency regarding the WUaS Educational Services' Store, as an authorized Lego robotics' reseller (in the USA only currently), and with this “Mine Pi” crypto-currency, WUaS will explore ways to get Lego robotics' kits to our matriculating WUaS students in all ~200 countries, as our website develops -  http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

Agenda & News


The World University and School's home page is updated with 29 majors (from 6) - worlduniversityandschool.org - and how to apply to WUaS for this January 2021 for free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees, first in English, in WUaS's new partnering with edX with more than 3,000 edX courses for students to choose from.

Thanks to Houcemeddine Turki for attending the WUaS News and Q&A on Monday, 11/16 from Tunisia. Thanks too to Houcemeddine for saying you think you might be able to have the beginnings of a new WUaS web site with a Wikidata / Wikibase installation in about 2 weeks from last Monday, I think - so Monday November 30th, 2021, beginning with this updated information -- worlduniversityandschool.org - and our wiki, here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - for example, and potentially for our new 29 majors. 


WUaS is seeking to plan for our matriculating students in all ~200 countries, wiki Universitians in all 7,117 known living languages, and, brainstorming-wise, wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people on the planet with time. Each matriculating student and wiki WUaS Universitian would get a Wikidata Q-item # or related forked Wikidata Pin #, and for accreditation and licensing purposes in the state of California, among the 5 reasons I've already shared with you - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html - to begin.


WUaS is seeking to matriculate 50-400 online students for free-to-students' Bachelor (licensing and accrediting) degrees beginning in January 2021, so we'd love to get this new WUaS web site development up soon, so we can reach out to the 8 or so heads of WUaS is a variety of countries, in seeking about 50 students from each of their countries who speak English then.

Thanks too to Nicolai in Romania for saying that he'd seek to facilitate News interviews for World Univ & Sch on Romanian TV.
