The Skillshare TA Program

At Skillshare, we believe in learning by doing. Whether that's creating a project, asking questions in an AMA, or giving feedback on your classmates' work, the more you engage with the community, the more you can learn. Earlier this year, we developed a TA (Teacher's Assistant) program to recognize students who exemplify the Skillshare mantra. TAs are students who go the extra mile to participate in the community and help make Skillshare the best place to learn.

Check out these projects created by some of our awesome TAs:
