OUR BELIEFS

1. Everyone deserves a world-class education for free.

2. Educational videos should be easy to discover and access.

3. In a world that glorifies celebrities, athletes, music icons, politicians, entrepreneurs, and the like, it’s time we turned teachers into rock stars.

4. Technology is only as good as the humanity behind it; people give meaning to platforms (e.g., via curating, categorizing, and crowdsourcing).

5. The liberal arts are core to who we are and merit the best resources we have.
