Massively Open Online Class Is what makes Silicon Valley the most welcoming thing.<\/div>\n

MOOC. Mooc looks like the American slang, “mooch”. \u00a0It means ask kindly and repeatedly for something valuable to be free. Moocher is the noun form. It’s a person who mooches. Well, MOOC has a “poster child” – it’s Stanford University.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
By poster child, I mean a pic that encapsulates The Meaning and Stanford University’s knowledge activation effort. I have researched, curated and dug around for all things entrepreneurial, and Stanford university does the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

There are YouTube playlists that a seventh grader can study and google – all the entrepreneurship videos are free. I spent a lot of time watching these videos and putting them into curated YouTube playlists ahead of\u00a0<\/span>Global Entrpreneurship Summit 2016<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>GES<\/a>\u00a0is June 22-24 at Stanford.\u00a0<\/span>GES<\/a>\u00a0rotates cities. This year it’s in California. In 2011,\u00a0<\/span>GES<\/a>\u00a0was in Turkey. In 2010, President Obama spoke at Tressider along with Turkey’s president. The Turkish president then sent over 60 students to attend summer quarter Engineering 145, “Technology Entrepreneurship”<\/span><\/div>\n
