Exploring Our Microbiological World

    Starts

Hi there! This series is going to be all about one of my favorite topics (and current major), microbiology! Each session, we'll be doing a deep dive into a new microorganism and it's biology: what kind of microorganism it is, where it exists, its role in its habitat, and even how it interacts with us. These are just meant to be fun, exploratory sessions, not a series on general microbiology, so no past knowledge is really needed. I can answer any general biology questions if they come up (in context with the microorganism, of course), but the main focus will be on whatever microscopic creature we're exploring during a given session! If you like microbiology, learning about new species, or just learning about the things we don't get to see much in our everyday lives, then this series is for you! Hope to see you there! (Note also that this is a re-run of a series I did over the summer, so if this looks familiar to you, you may have seen it before.)

Language Exploration

    5th session

Hello! This series will hold basics of many languages. Each lesson will be a new language or a continuation/ make up of one already being taught. There will be a variety of tutors bringing their expertise to the series. The goal is to learn a little bit and decide which language(s) are your favorite to study more in-depth. I am looking for cohosts to help! Especially if you know any Asian language!

Community Feedback Series

    Ended Sun, Jan 14, 2024

Hello everybody! This is a weekly series all about YOUR ideas and feedback about your experiences with SHW. We're trying to get to know how everyone's feeling about their time in this community, and looking for suggestions about better ways to learn and engage. Specifically, we're taking this feedback and these suggestions as ways to improve and craft better AI assistance! Note that this is different from the Feedback and Ideas page, as this is specifically for the site's AI improvement. More sessions to be added every week.

So, You Want To Start Sketching...

Have you ever wanted to try out drawing, but didn't know where to start? Do you draw already, but you're looking for some tips to improve your skills? Do you just like drawing for fun, and want to meet some other people who are the same? This session is for all of the above...and more!
I'll give you an introduction to the basics of drawing and sketching, mostly based on my experiences and things I've learned along the way.

What will be covered in this session:
- Materials
- The basic sketching process
- Shading
- Extra tips
- Any questions you have for me

This won't just be a presentation either - I'll also be working on a short sketch myself throughout the session, following the process I'll be presenting. And it won't be just me (hopefully), you'll all be getting creative with your own drawings too!
Hope to see you there!
