The Multiverse ZineNo. 62March 23, 2025

Seven tutors, seven weeks, zero excuses

Seven Weeks, Seven Tutors

Five free custom GPT courses launched for learning to code, and the CyberPony Express moved on to hardware strategy.

See upcoming classes

This issue is dressed as Demoscene

The school launched a set of free custom GPTs that each run a fully customizable course. Readers tell them how new or experienced they are and the GPT adds supplementary material to match. The set covers programming languages, clouds, machine learning, cyberdefense and cyberassault.

The CyberPony Express session that week was on hardware strategy, building a list of Meshtastic node types and agreeing on it before publishing how-to guides and videos. Math came back on, with Drew continuing to teach it.

Liz was also looking at open source learning platforms such as Moodle for a possible Q2 migration and asked readers for their preferences.

The CyberPony Express continues, we'll meet virtually for the next few sessions. This week: Hardware Strategy. Wanna join in? Sign up here. We're doing the build list of the many node types and agreeing, then we'll publish how-to guides and videos.

In an unrelated note, are you in a red state? Please make contact with your local queer community centers, and then get me introduced. Time is of the essence.

Please contribute to the resistance repo. We are making some agitprop bots, please contribute propaganda. We need both relatable memes (hooks) and propaganda memes. This will also serve as a decent collection of the kinds of meme propaganda we've been exposed to.

Are you so sick of hearing teasers of what's happening in Detroit but not knowing what the deal is? Here's... another teaser. Yes, you can apply to get involved. Let's seize those means.

Got any thoughts on what platform you like for elearning? Please drop them in the matrix server. If you wanna help migrate, please let me know. Currently I'm looking into some of the open source ones like Moodle. This will probably happen in Q2.

Solarpunk Standup is on - this is first assembly. Bring your problems, needs, and we'll get the community problem-solving. This is included in any membership tier and for anyone currently in a class or anyone I've said can just come.

Job Search / Brandup Standup will be from 9am - 10am Pacific. This is where you'll work on either search for jobs (literally apply to jobs, put in proposals, pitch contracts, do outbound emails), or your personal brand (literally the stuff like your website, social media post, mass communications, etc).

Are you learning some tech stuff? We launched a lot of free tools for learning to code recently. These are Custom GPTs that will run fully customizable courses- just tell them where you're at! They each assume some amount of knowledge, but if you don't have it, that's fine! Just tell them how new (or how experienced) you are and it will add enough supplementary materials for you.

Let's keep each other safe and sane.

Math is back on! Drew is going to keep doing it because everyone loves that it's happening and he loves doing it. Thank you Drew!

Don't forget to join us on Matrix, where we'll stay tight-knit and coordinated, run mutual aid groups, and keep everyone safe. This is going to be a rough few years. Let's keep each other safe and sane.

See you at first assembly.
