My kids did not bother to attend the ceremonies. (I did ask if they wanted to go.) The oldest went to three courses - they were all very good, though the last one (Fast-paced High school chemistry) I think is much less interesting than the ones where they delve into subjects that aren’t covered elsewhere. I was really impressed with what he learned in Cryptography, and especially the Game Theory course. (Math he didn’t see again until he took quantum mechanics, but he also learned about the Cuban missile crisis and price wars between Apple and Microsoft.)
