History
The Brooklyn Skillshare is a community-based, community-led, and community-building learning event organized and taught by Brooklyn residents. It is a one-day event of learning, making, sharing and doing. A group of Brooklyn volunteers decided to develop the event in 2009 after Brooklynite Meg Wachter attended the Boston Skillshare.

2009 Brooklyn Skillshare
The first annual Brooklyn Skillshare will take place October 10, 2009, and will consist of 5 blocks of hour and a half long classes, with 3 classes taking place per block. Classes include: Kombucha brewing, bike mechanics 101, screenprinting, DIY electronic audio, cooking with raw food, burlesque, and many, many more.

Mission Statement
Mission Statement: Education is a right, not a commodity. We are all students and teachers, and we believe that everyone has something to teach and to learn from each other. The Brooklyn Skillshare is a communal, hands-on, learning experience that aims to serve as a jumping-off point in the construction of an autonomous, nonexclusive, reciprocal learning community.
