In the 18th century, coffee houses were known as Penny Universities. For a mere penny, people entered a communal space overflowing with ideas, literature, intellectual conversations and inspired debates. Here, men and women came to improve their minds, challenge their mindsets, and build a roadmap for change.
Inspired by the Penny Universities’ unique environments, Skillshare’s first education conference aims to create a space where curiosity, discovery, and collaboration are not only encouraged but rewarded. On the morning of the conference, we’ll kick off with curated Skillshare classes across NYC and conclude our day at The Times Center, where we’ll be inspired by some of the best minds and prominent personalities in the Education space. By the day’s end, we will have found that change in education is not only possible — but is happening all around us.
