This repo contains the curriculum in detail for every session (since we started recording). This serves as both an archive and a shortcut to planning future sessions.
Each class is named after its start date. Include whatever level of Y-M-D specificity required. Create your folder before class begins so that all hyperlinks during class will be perserved long term.
The draft for the next class is located its own folder. It is an improved copy of the most recent session based on feedback and post-session meetings.
