Finally Launching DECODEING School
I need motivation. I’ve been talking about creating an online school for 2 years, and it’s finally time to execute plans.
Since I have failed myself over and over to put this school together, I was glad to see the opportunity to join a hackathon where the goal is to make something online in 30 days.
Accountability, support and motivation all come together in this hackathon with an awesome group working towards something at the same time.
So I’m taking this opportunity to get my ass in gear and fucking ship my school.
Now today, I am laying down a concrete plan.
Goal
Launch DECODEING School by Halloween with the Computer Science major learning path.
