The problem: free resources don't have a marketing team behind them, so thousands of poor people get scammed everyday into buying a bad course that won't get them anywhere.
The plan: rent a local, put in fiber internet, and open it to the public for free so people can come in and learn (I will block anything not related to learning through a firewall or something). Maybe buy some computers if money allows it. The only prerequisites being to be able to speak/write English. There people can discuss, and more importantly, only use vetted resources to learn. I'm not a teacher and I won't pretend to be one, I'll just serve as a guide.
What lead me to this idea is that I personally use free resources online to learn as I try to become a data engineer. I'm following courses from UCB that are free to audit online, I will just compile or find a compilation of such courses into a curriculum and be done with it. I'm aware that this could be turned into a business, an outsourcing agency of sorts, but later maybe, if things goes well, for now its merely an idea. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
