[LRUG] Any connections to help grow Upcase?

[Stephanie Kuroda]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone used thoughtbot's Upcase <https://thoughtbot.com/upcase> in the
past, and if so, did you find it helpful?

If you're unfamiliar, Upcase is a learning platform created by thoughtbot
(the company I work for), meant to skill up intermediate to advanced
developers. We have a heavy focus on Ruby on Rails and TDD. We made Upcase
free in 2018, and while it still has good foundational content and
practical exercises, it could use updates.

I'm interested in increasing awareness of Upcase by reaching out to
schools, bootcamps, and dev programs who'd want to use Upcase,
incorporating the foundations or exercises into their curriculum. We love
open source and sharing what we know. I'm hoping that if there's even more
recognition, then we could find resources (funding?) to add AI and Hotwire.

Does anyone have any connections, or know programs that might be
interested? Or thoughts on potential funding opportunities?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you,
Stephanie Kuroda
