Dear Shuja Keen, MIT '99 (@ https://www.bpc.com/team/shuja-keen), Hello MITAS, all,  

mitashelp@alum.mit.edu, shuja.keen@alum.mit.edu, hello@mitas.org, 

Greetings from World University and School (WUaS) building on CC-4 licensed MIT OCW in 7 languages (eg https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/), and with Wikidata (Wikipedia's backend structured knowledge database in 348 languages) + . Based out of the SF East Bay, WUaS is neither a MITAS member, nor MIT alum per se (although I was a student as a global listener in the MIT Harvard + "How to Grow (Almost) Anything" synthetic biology online class with Harvard and MIT professor of genetics' George Church, and MIT Professor David Sun Kong in the spring of 2025. (And my grandfather Alexander Chadbourne 'Sandy' Brown had 2 MIT degrees in chemical engineering from the 1920s). How best to register my interest re https://mitas.alumcommunity.mit.edu/events/278379 beyond this email? 

And thanks for this email. I'm interested potentially, - but how best to register for these complementary co-working sessions: 

The first co-working sessions will be held at Goodwin's San Francisco office (525 Market Street) on:

The program is complimentary for selected MITAS members, but space is limited, and participation is by application?



World University and School WUaS is both a non-profit 501 c 3, AND a for-profit general stock company legal entity in the state of CAlifornia, with amazing potential synergies between them, planned in all 200 countries and in their main languages for free-to-students' WUaS degrees from home, and in all 7159 living languages as wiki schools for people to people wiki-teaching and wiki-learning, but neither wing is financially operational yet, and WUaS lacks management expertise as well. And both wings, 1) World University and School, and 2) the WUaS corporation also have no money to speak of whatsoever, and so I also couldn't register for the 'MIT AI Conference: Meet the Lineup' on Saturday, October 17, 2026. 

(WUaS is also seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata PIN # from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and has a partnering emails with Stanford Mine Pi Cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/?u=sgkmac -  free money daily, and is seeking to end poverty worldwide, while also facilitating highest quality free universal education. And WUaS is seeking to grow in a #RealisticVirtualEarth, possibly as a key next development incorporating and superseding AI and ML even, and see Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI": #WorldUniversityInSchool updated March 2, 2024 - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 ... and a #RVEforGenetics, a #RVEforAgingReversal, #RVEforExtremeLongevity, a #RVEforHistory + ... as well as a #RealisticVirtualHarbin Hot Springs for scientific and social science and humanities' research, with STEAM & STEM field sites and as classrooms especially ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~).

Might some WUaS Boards of Dirctors / Trustees emerge from these possible MITAS co-working sessions - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation?

And how might we explore turning these possible co-working sessions into a WUaS Business Management teaching and learning opportunity - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Business_Management
 (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) ? 


Added to the summary after editing the  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool. org/wiki/Business_Management wiki school at WUaS in English - 
'just updated Sloan School of Management MIT OCW courses with https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/sloan-school-of-management/'

WUaS is also still not accredited, and is exploring accreditation possibly in Germany with German World University and School planned in German by adding MIT OCW to the Open edX Europe platform, and accrediting with a German accreditation agency. 

How best to proceed, if at all, and if I and World University and School could apply to these MITAS co-working sessions on Market street in SF? 

All the best, thanks so much, 
Scott

Dear Shuja  (@ https://www.bpc.com/team/shuja-keen), MITAS NorCal, David Yang (MIT Alumni Association, Cambridge MA), all,

Greetings. I attempted to register my interest in these MITAS NorCal CoWorking sessions per this surprise invitation to me regarding both wings of World Univ & Sch WUaS building on MIT OCW in 7 languages - https://mitas.alumcommunity.mit.edu/events/278379 - but it seems not to have worked (and see the PS & also https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/08/marsur-rock-hussainabad-skardu-valley.html?m=0).

Any possible workarounds that you might suggest please? WUaS is seeking potentially a Chief Operating Officer, a possible eventual President of Pakistan World Univ and Sch, and to develop FinTech operations both legally and information technologies-wise, for both WUaS wings (and see the PPS), the 

1) 501 c 3 nonprofit World Univ & Sch wing in all 200 countries as free-to-students' online world class WUaS universities 
and the 

2) WUaS corporation wing, a for profit general stock company legal entity in the state of California  

... with incredible potential synergies between both wings, planned for speakers of all 7159 living languages, and from there in WUaS seeking to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University each a Wiikidata PIN # both to facilitate free universal education and to end poverty worldwide, say among the poorest billion people in the world (and in WUaS coding for Pi cryptocurrency - https://minepi.com/sgkmac - with partnering emails from Pi Network). But as I wrote in the Marsur Rock blog post "both wings, 1) World University and School, and 2) the WUaS corporation also have no money to speak of whatsoever," unfortunately.

Appreciating much this interview with you -

Thanks so so much, best regards,

Dear Scott,

Thank you for contacting the MIT Alumni Association and for your interest in the Infinite Connection. Unfortunately, as you were not matriculated into a degree granting program at MIT, you do not meet the eligibility requirements for an Infinite Connection account.
I am so sorry that we are unable to help with your request. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you again for being in touch.

Sincerely,

David Yang
