This is great! I'm a little bit confused by the "You Ship, We Ship". It seems presented like a named concept of sorts, but the description when following the link is
> At Hack Club we're reimagining a new type of public education for technology. We believe people learn best by creating things they care about and sharing them with others. We build open source creative tools with young people all around the world. These tools are gateways to new subjects in technology like embedded systems, circuits or digital fabrication robotics. When teenagers build things with our tools we send them more creative materials for free.
> Our goal is to build a new type of library online that offers learners not just media to consume but tools to create. And it is free and open source to all. We're just getting started...
This is also great. But, I'm still confused by the name.
Shipping is usually referred to sending something through, well, ships originally, but postage in general this day. But, I don't think it has anything to do with that.
Am I missing something? Perhaps something lost in translation?
Edit: Aha. I just didn't read it correctly. The concept is that you contribute by sending materials to teenagers who are trying to learn this stuff? That's amazing!
Thanks for asking I could give a better explanation. We mean the participant ships a project (like shipping code) and we physically ship them materials (like a drawing machine in the mail).
