53 of the best Harvard University courses you can take online for free [mashable.com]:

"Yep, you could become a student of Harvard University without spending anything (and without leaving home). You can find Harvard courses on everything from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity with edX, so what are you waiting for? There isn't a catch here, besides the fact that you won't get a certificate of completion with these free courses. But don't let that hold you back."

Yale has a lot of free courses as well.

Just waiting on my neurolink data port then I'll absorb this knowledge…
This isn't a new offering, but awareness is always a good thing. There are more classes available than are listed in the op - a total of 151. Here's a direct link to all of Harvard's free courses:

https://pll.harvard.edu/catalog/free?page=1

If you've ever heard of auditing a class - that's exactly what this is. You get the knowledge, but you don't take tests or get actual credit. It's like sitting in the classroom as an observer, but the advantage of it being online is that the courses are self-paced. You do have to pay, IF you want a certificate verifying that you took the class.

Many colleges and universities offer similar programs. Googling "free Harvard courses" brought up the link above. Substitute "Harvard" with the name of the school you're interested in to see if they offer a similar program.

Just like they weren't ready for every employee having a smart phone resulting in reduced productivity.
CAD productivity has gone way up in the last 10 years. I contend smartphones only bring it back down to anormal level.

Several free classes at Hilsdale.edu too. The upside is you won't identify as a rainbow unicorn after you finish a class at Hillsdale.

Quote from OliveMagic120 :
Imagine what happens when the brain is hit with a DDOS attack!

I just imagined it and realized we already see that happening without the people having neurolinks. 😞
DDOS attacks happen to my brain everyday, just after lunch.
While reproduceable, haven't been able to find the root cause.
Into the backlog it goes.

Quote from PopRockPride :
I'm curious- did they take it over a few weeks? Or days? Thinking my oldest might like this over the summer break.

They did it over weeks, close to the max allowed in order to get the certificate. It's a fair amount of time to do if you're going in cold. He's now done with his first year of college in a CS program.

Can I sign up for free now and pay the $299 to earn the certificate later or at the end of the course?

Yes , but why. Harvard will give you a certificate , You do not need one from EDX. I just finished python course . got a pdf file for certificate . and in 30 days if i want from EDX - I can pay. but I wouldn't.
