A great university, and high school (IB with Lego Robotics, from MIT OpenCourseWare on edX platform?), in your home ... and in your country, and your language - for free :), and wiki too :))?

Dear Anthony, Prasanth, Fritz, Universitians, (and greetings George Preston, my old Kimmerghame Housemaster at Fettes College in Edinburgh Scotland in 1977-1978), All,
Thanks so much for your conversation today in the
"WUaS News, Q&A, and Conversation 1/4/21 (2021-01-04 at 10:02 GMT-8)"
The Google Meet video conference video recording worked out, as a new first (for WUaS - World Univ & Sch)! And glad you two, Anthony & Fritz, could both meet for the first time face-to-face, and it seems in communication with Doutzen Groothof (standtall.biz) in the Hague (whom it's interesting to learn of, from you both), and also involved in International Baccalaureate education potentially. (I lived with a Quaker family, the Kruegers, for 2.5 months at the end of my 13 months' time studying in Munich, Germany, in 1981-82, at LMU, in part, and through a Reed College program, with classrooms in Olympiazentrum).
Here, per our conversation, are two related Wiki World Univ & Sch subjects -
Indigenous languages of the Americas -
WUaS IB Diploma and Programme wiki subject page for starters -
WUaS is planning to offer online IB programme in each of all ~200 countries, and in their main / official languages
In terms of a kind of structure of and information about WUaS, both of the above wiki subjects are accessible here - https://wiki.
And here's the "JuryX" course from Harvard Law Emeritus Charles Nesson I mentioned, which I found inspiring in 2016, and which builds as a course most successfully on the edX platform, in my opinion, to give you some idea of what edX is about too (and with which WUaS is in the process of partnering):
JuryX: Deliberations for Social Change
https://www.edx.org/course/
https://www.edx.org/course/
In what ways could WUaS with your visionary guidance Anthony build out 3 lower level and 3 upper level end of high school IB courses (for ages 16,17 and 18?) on the edX platform, using this course as a model, and which would be IB credentialed with students receiving an online IB diploma upon successful completion - eventually in all ~200 countries, and in their official and main languages? (Charlie Nesson is also deeply informed by the spirit of 1960s' freedom seeking movements, and is a very successful Harvard Law Emeritus Professor, re the freedom and success of the IB diploma).
Anthony, brainstorming-wise, in what ways could MIT OCW-centric WUaS get and matriculate Harrow student graduates beginning this May 1, 2021 or September 1, even - https://en.wikipedia.org/
Far more than an edX course brainstorming-wise too, I wonder about creating a voluntary "Mapping the Territory" entree in Google SketchUp into the 'World University world' from something like this - https://wiki.
I'll add the above video here to my blog entry from December 29, 2020 (beginning with Eastern screech owl) - https://scott-macleod.
Looking forward to further communications about all of this, and thank you so much Anthony & Fritz for joining the conversation today!
Sincerely,
Scott
PS
Looked up some etymologies of the word 'harrow' re harrowing, re your great old alma mater, Anthony :) ...
... and straw boater hats are part of the school uniform? :)
... must learn more .... The above etymologies are quite non-specific to Harrow 1572 which was founded about 64 years before Harvard College 1636, the oldest school & university in the US, I think.
Good morning, Anthony, & World University community!
Thank you for your email, Anthony, and looking forward to seeing some you all in about 30 minutes from now.
As a heads' up, I'm exploring for the first time ever the possibility of recording today's Google Meet (and may try live streaming additionally in the future) -
