Education is the road to freedom from poverty, ignorance and racism.
Here are some little known facts for anyone wanting to get a little free education of the highest calibre.
MIT provides free online classes in engineering to anyone with a desire to learn, a computer and an Internet connection. Oh and you also need a free copy of the Shockwave software (http://ohana.mit.edu/ocwc/display/ocwnews/Consortium+News+Home).
Free course is here: http://ocw.mit.edu/ans7870/resources/edics/index.htm http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm

Which once again goes to prove if you know then you know. If you don't know then it is impossible for you to benefit.
Make it your business to know about these events/programs. Other universities can participate in the same program that is hosted under the umbrella organization of the Open Course ware Consortium (http://ohana.mit.edu/ocwc/display/ocwnews/Consortium+News+Home). There are additional courses available at the site mentioned above so check it out.
Don't believe me? Then check out Notre Dame's free courses at : http://ocw.nd.edu/eduCommons/Courses_listing
Putting courseware together from these and other institutions can provide a well rounded background in both the sciences and the arts. One must simply be willing to invest time. If you discover something useful related to education -- why not share it here by leaving your comment.
