MasterClass Online Classes

What if every single expert you adored put together an online video about how they do the thing they’re very good at? Well, it exists.

Basically every subject that someone loves to nerd out about is on here and it’s taught by the best of the best. You want to learn how to create change? Malala is here to teach you. Want to improve your cooking? Yotam Ottolenghi is here and he’s willing to help. Shonda Rhimes and Issa Rae are here to teach you the secrets to their success, Roxane Gay is teaching writing for social change.

The price is pretty spendy BUT if you and your significant other are both research geeks, then maybe you split the cost for a year’s subscription and then share your tips on how to become a poet and/or astronaut.
