Dave Eggers Video
I knew of McSweeney’s however, I didn’t know that Dave Eggers was affiliated. I’m sad the Dave Eggers video was presented the last week of this course -as an optional exercise -this was one of the best things that was offered in this particular course and it’s a bit sad that it came at the very end of the course. I would highly recommend this go as the first video any future student, of this course, sees.
What did you get out of this?
That said what I got out of this was an extremely inspiring TED Talk and emphasis of how an entrepreneur does what they need to do. How Dave Eggers was able to transform pirate shops, superhero stores and a vast number of other outward-facing spaces and transform them into tutoring centers for students right where the community needed them is a true educational entrepreneurship Enterprise.
Dave Eggers took an idea, a simple idea, and scaled it by using communities and individuals all of them helped public education in a most unique way. What I love dearly is how Dave Eggers encountered every obstacle and found a way around it in an amusing humorous approach.
