Media literacy Ready to teach
Imara
Still learning: lateral reading — leave the page and check what other sources say about it
Teach Imara → Practice the idea →Ages 15–18
Teach the Cast
Teaching something is the strongest way to learn it yourself — the protégé effect. Each person here is a near-peer who's still working out one idea; explaining it to them well is the practice, and the better you know the subject, the more they master. Nothing is saved anywhere — this is just for you.
Good explanation starts with a question, not an answer. Pick someone you're close to helping master their idea — you'll surface your own reasoning as you teach theirs.

Coding Ready to teach
Lin
Still learning: tracing state line-by-line to find a bug — not guessing from where the error surfaced
Teach Lin → Practice the idea → Physics Ready to teach
Torin
Still learning: Newton's laws — a net force CHANGES velocity; steady motion needs no forward push
Teach Torin → Practice the idea →Everyone to teach
Science Ready to teach
Hattie
Still learning: a controlled experiment — change only ONE variable at a time
Teach Hattie → Practice the idea → Proof Ready to teach
Renard
Still learning: proof — a diagram that looks true is not a proof; the givens + theorems are
Teach Renard → Practice the idea → AI literacy Ready to teach
Nils
Still learning: accuracy is not fairness — equal accuracy can hide unequal selection rates
Teach Nils → Practice the idea → Economics Ready to teach
Elena
Still learning: a Nash equilibrium is STABLE (no one gains by switching alone) — not necessarily best for both
Teach Elena → Practice the idea → Engineering Ready to teach
Sy
Still learning: feasibility first — screen out designs that break a hard constraint BEFORE optimizing
Teach Sy → Practice the idea → Chemistry Ready to teach
Halden
Still learning: stoichiometry — a balanced equation gives MOLE ratios, not gram/mass ratios
Teach Halden → Practice the idea → Cryptography Ready to teach
Ivo
Still learning: a small keyspace is not security — a 25-shift Caesar cipher is trivially brute-forced
Teach Ivo → Practice the idea → Study skills Ready to teach
Thatcher
Still learning: retrieval practice — recalling from memory beats re-reading
Teach Thatcher → Practice the idea → Math Ready to teach
Vela
Still learning: a limit is the value a function APPROACHES, not its value AT the point
Teach Vela → Practice the idea → Economics Ready to teach
Priya
Still learning: compound interest — interest earns interest, so it grows faster than it looks
Teach Priya → Practice the idea →
