Eli the Computer Guy (Silicon Dojo)

I am focused on providing high quality technology education for everyone interested in learning.  From the online classes on YouTube, to Silicon Dojo where we offer hands on classes, to Silicon Derby where we build robot cars and compete with them I am creating opportunities for curious people to learn how to make technology work for them.


My goal is for these projects to be "free to the end user" so that regardless of people financial status they can learn without concern about payment.  


With this in mind these projects still cost money. There is rent, supply costs and more.  Your contribution makes it possible to make tech education a resource that is available to everyone.

Thank you, for all what you done the last 10 years, always on a new path. Eli you are the best.

I hope the Dojo thrives. The business snark over the years has been the most valuable offering for me personally. You’re creating something that I wish I was exposed to when I was young, and I support that!

I've found your YT content has value and your honesty and acknowledgment of reality is refreshing.

Love the recent talks Eli. How do you see YouTube or some other online presence meshing with Silicon Dojo in the future, if at all? Take care

Been watching you channel since I first signed up to Youtube way back in 2006/7 (Can't remember exactly when, but I was pretty early) and back then barely knew how computers actually worked past getting online and visiting sites. It would be a shame to see you leave Youtube, as you have given so much to users over the years. Will you be making your back catalogue available on any other platforms (places like LBRY where you can also earn as well) so we can still access your content, or will you be hosting this yourself via Azure storage linked to your site etc? I think what you are going to be doing with Silicon Dojo sounds amazing and could be a fantastic place for people to get hands on learning from yourself and your staff. Brilliant idea and truly hope it goes well for you.

Everybody started somewhere, even Louis Rossmann started with $268 with his business and now look at him now. Good luck Eli. Hope to see Silicon Dojo grow big and successful.

This is about all I can manage to give for now, but I really believe that you're doing something great for all of nerdom/geekdom communities.

Seth | $10

I have learned a lot from your videos over the past years that relate to my job. If you leave Youtube and end up on another platform that requires subscription, I will pay for it as the content has value.
