Hi. John Green here.
-
So at Crash Course we have spent over 8 years teaching you everything from Engineering and
-
Computer Science to Psychology, Economics, Astronomy, and of course History.
-
And we hope that those videos will not just help you pass tests, but better understand
-
yourselves and your place in the universe.
-
And we're pretty happy in our little corner of the Internet, with our 10-15 minute educational
-
videos, but also we're always looking for ways to expand Crash Course's mission which
-
is to bring free educational content to people everywhere.
-
And that's why today I am so excited to announce that we are launching the Crash Course App!
-
It's available for download right now in your app store of choice.
-
And it's free!
-
The Crash Course App is a portal for finding and watching all 1200 of our videos, but we've
-
also been working on some extra materials to help you learn better from those videos.
-
At the heart of the app are decks - which are essentially flashcards - but not just
-
any flashcards, they're the world's most beautiful flashcards, illustrated by our friends
-
at Thought Cafe.
-
We've brought back our expert consultants and writers from previous series to point
-
out what they think are the most critical pieces of information in each of our videos
-
so that right after you've finished watching one you can check what you've learned.
-
And if you're studying and want even MORE practice than that, or if you want some sweet
-
dopamine boosts from answering trivia questions correctly, we also made a quiz mode.
-
In quiz mode, our flashcards turn into multiple-choice questions, each with a large pool of answers
-
that our consultants have written.
-
Now, making and writing these decks takes a lot of time and resources.
-
So we're starting off small with just a few courses.
-
Decks for every episode of Crash Course Chemistry and Crash Course Anatomy and Physiology are
-
now available, and we'll be releasing decks for Crash Course Organic Chemistry with each
-
new episode.
-
Also, as a bonus for you Organic Chemistry fans, we'll be including a ton of new content
-
to help you practice the reactions you've learned.
-
And I will be practicing those reactions with you because I know nothing about Organic Chemistry
-
but I'm going to try to learn through Crash Course and through the app.
-
I'm pretty excited actually.
-
So like I said Here at Crash Course, our mission is to provide free educational content for
-
everyone, and this app extends that mission because it is all completely free. Really.
-
If you like the app and find it helpful, you can make donations through it, but you don't have to.
-
100% of the content is free.
-
This App has been a big scary project for us, but we hope it's the start of a new
-
way to learn with Crash Course.
-
And it really is just the start.
-
We'll be continually adding new decks to the App and hopefully… maybe… eventually...
-
adding other fun ways to help you learn.
-
Let's just say we believe 2020 needs a new Oregon Trail.
-
The game, that is.
-
In real life, I find cars to be significantly more effective than covered wagons.
-
Also, I don't want to die of dysentery.
-
But for now we're starting with the Crash Course App.
-
So if you have a phone or tablet, please download the app - which is available for Android devices
-
on the Google Play Store and Apple devices at the App Store - and let us know what you think .
-
Thanks as always for learning and experimenting with us and as they say in my hometown:
-
don't forget to be awesome.
