Codecademy is offering a full day of free, interactive classes to everyone with internet access on May 13, 2020 with partners such as Y Combinator, Twitch, Food52, Duolingo, Headspace, and more.
You can find the full itinerary for "Learn From Home Day" below, but the lineup includes everything from a cooking class with a Food52 recipe developer to a lesson on streaming best practices with Twitch.
Codecademy, an e-learning company that focuses on coding, has teamed up with acclaimed companies such as Duolingo, Casper, Twitch, and Headspace to bring a comprehensive "Learn From Home Day" to couches around the world. Best of all, the entire day is completely free to attend.
Participants can learn how to mix a song with Splice and join in guided meditations courtesy of Headspace's mindfulness meditation teacher.
The events cover a wide array of interests. Home chefs will enjoy a four-ingredient, fridge-cleanout cooking class with Ella Quittner, Food52 writer and recipe developer. Meanwhile, budding entrepreneurs can join a fireside chat on startups with Y Combinator, the seed accelerator that's behind some of the most successful startups in the world (including Codecademy itself, which was once its fastest-growing company ever after signing up more than 200,000 people in its first three days).
