Agenda Items - 

1

Please email the CC-4 ocw.mit.edu courses you'd like to study in the first semester or your free-to-students' Bachelor or PhD degree, first in English, at WUaS, and your transcripts to Meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org to begin the application process at best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World University and School

World Univ & Sch seeks to develop in WUaS Google Workspace for Education, and potentially add CC-4 ocw.mit.edu courses (in its 4 languages) to the templates (if possible) in 

https://grow.google/

information technology
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-it-support

data analytics

project management
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-project-management

user experience design
https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/google-ux-design

and similar ... and first in English, and then in each of all ~200 countries' official languages, for free-to-students' Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees in each of these countries, and in collaboration even with their counties' departments of education. This would include identifying high achieving students as well as reimbursement to WUaS per student per year. 

3

7.9 billion personal Avatar Bots as teachers and learners for each of us (a Stanford Professor Richard Rorty interactively and conversationally, for example? )

7.9 billion personal robots - as WUaS personal tutors too -  for socratic dialogue, and conference method?

4

machine learning project managers - brainstorming-wise, hire 10 million people at WUaS, about 4 times as many as W-M, mostly interns in 7139 known living languages? Probably more likely that WUaS aims to hire as many as 2.3 million people (about the size of W-M), achieving this over a number of decades. 

5

WUaS is seeking a new Chairperson of the Board of Directors 

Please let meeting@worlduniversityandschool.org know if you have suggestions for, or thoughts about, this. With time, WUaS, and with more Universitians, will develop a more effective process for such WUaS developments - 

6

WUaS is seeking also a new management team

A Chief Operating Officer

A CHief Information Technology Officer

A Chief Marketing Officer

(Currently, Larry Viehland is Chief Financial Officer, and Scott MacLeod is CEO)

7 

A WUaS-NSF arrangement? 

Thanks to a recent series ISSIP educational workshops

4 - https://issip.org/issip-nsf-workshop-4-badging-and-evolution-of-credentialing/) 

WUaS is exploring the potential for possible NSF-WUaS developments ? 

In the process WUaS is seeking a new Chief Operating Officer and has inquired if Yassi Moghaddam, executive director of ISSIP, might fill this role, and possibly if Jim Spohrer, might fill the role of Chief Information Technology Officer

Please stay tuned.

If 1st generation #AgingReversal drugs will get us to 25 'years old' when 150 yo, what will 2nd gen #AgeReversal vaccines do, re avoiding #SideEffects & #UnanticipatedConsequences?

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea): If 1st generation #AgingReversal drugs will get us to 25 'years old' when 150 yo, what will 2nd gen #AgeReversal vaccines do, re avoiding #SideEffects & #UnanticipatedConsequences? #WUaSAgingReversal #WUaSlongevity in #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth? * brass ring? what could this mean? * * Honestly pretty, Lovisa Herold - with some Greens' Swedish thoughts about flying (about shaming Swedes not to fly, interestingly) ... Published on my mother's birthday 2 years ago ... "Swedish identity in modernity, not yet 'internetity'" I would say

Please also add technologies you've found, or post something to the bulletin board. 

Agenda Items - 

A

WUaS, as an authorized Lego Robotics' reseller in the USA, contacted Lego's Leanna Prater and Stanford Research Fellow Soren Jorgensen (former? Consul General of Denmark to Silicon Valley too), about WUaS become a distributor to physical stores of the 3 Lego Robotics' kits WUaS carries, a) Mindstorms, b) Spike Prime and c) WeDo 2.0 (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html), but has not heard back yet from either of them. This would include becoming a Lego Robotics' kits' distributor to Independent Booksellers, such as Orinda Books in Contra Costa county, CA, and potentially with a relationship with county departments of education, as well as to chain bookstores, such as Barnes and Noble. 

Further, in what ways could the WUaS Corp and Academic Press at WUaS as Lego Robotics' kits' distributors facilitate WUaS outreach in such on-the-ground bookstores, with for example even robot bookshelves with Lego Robotics' kits on one side, and WUaS Academic Press books on the other side (thinking too Penguin Books' in-store twirling carousels for example). 

WUaS's planned on-the-ground Educational Services' bookstores/cafes, computer stores, robotics' stores in the USA, - and actual-virtual bookstores in all ~200 countries, not just online in the USA (as the WUaS-Lego arrangement is now), - would also seek to carry these Lego Robotics' kits for our WUaS students, learners, and related researchers. 

B

7.9 billion personal robots manufactured and sold by WUaS in a number of years? 

Regarding WUaS both being an authorized carrier of 3 Lego Robotics' kits in the USA online (so far), and regarding the book by Nobel Laureate Kazuo Ishiguro "Klara and the Sun" about Artificial Friends (AFs), Personal Robots, and Robot People, in what ways could WUaS begin to plan to facilitate 20 models of robots a year after a number of years, and to all 7.9 billion people on the planet earth, as Personal Robot teachers and learners, and even also personal robot medical doctors +? (Currently a Google Search yielded that about 6.4 billion people on the planet have smartphones, and there are more than a billion personal cars too).

C

Single Cryptocurrency to end poverty, planning to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet too, each a Wikidata Pin #? Stanford Mine Pi (eg https://minepi.com/sgkmac) for this, where WUaS Corporation would explore how it might work if WUaS could list this on the Silicon Valley Long-Term Stock Market, and in planning to code for 7.9 billion people. And could then Nation States and Mutual Funds and Investors then invest in Stanford Mine Pi, and from all ~200 countries too?
