There are currently over 1.86 Billion websites.
Few provide any real value.
Here are 7 that do: 🧡
1/ Attend the Ivy League:
Always thought it would be cool to go to an Ivy League school?
Here's your chance.
Free lecture notes, exams, and videos from MIT.
ocw.mit.edu
2/ Millions of books: Available for free.
Booklists seem to be all the rage recently on Twitter.
(I'm guilty of posting a couple myself)
Instead of a list, here's a link to a library full of them.
The goal:
"A web page for every book ever published."
openlibrary.org
3/ Talks from a wide-ranging group of thinkers & doers.
If you enjoy TED, you should check out 99U "The Talks."
Past speakers include executives and creators from the New York Times, Netflix, Google, & more.
99u.adobe.com
4/ I love documentaries.
As you know, many can be found on the major streaming services.
What you may not know? There are literally thousands of others available for free.
Here's a good place to start:
documentarystorm.com
5/ The Smithsonian Learning Lab:
A collection of treasures from the world's largest museum, education, and research complex.
The Lab is an interactive platform with millions of authentic digital resources & online content creation tools.
learninglab.si.edu
6/ A library of over 60,000 free eBooks.
A mixture of free "e-published" & Kindle eBooks you can download or read online.
gutenberg.org
7/ Learn to code for free:
It's never too late to learn a new skill & I think it's safe to say, computers aren't going away anytime soon.
HTML, CSS, Python & more.
They also have an awesome YouTube channel with 1,000's of hours of instructional videos.
freecodecamp.org
Thanks for reading!

Correction: I mistakenly referred to MIT as an Ivy League school, which it is not.
Cool resource nonetheless!
