I’ve been meaning to check if the people in charge of the Storis II Welcome Center are, but you could consider at least getting a portal from there, since I believe some number of new players are directed there for some tutorial assistance.
Eventually, I want to build a number of tutorial areas, and have planned to at least get them linked up to the welcome center.

I have been there, but it seemed to be abandoned for a few months now. Was kinda surprised to find a forging school there since that was around the time i started learning forging myself.

For what it’s worth, I think I’m going to try to build a version of the school in SCHOOL NURSE FILES … 
Replete with the hole monster, of course.
I just came across that yesterday for the first time; mah pockit were full tho and I was looking for something.
Hiding gleam school would be a decent one now lighting school is gone, when I came back had to drag up a very very old forum post which explained it

Brown Town’s to do list includes a range of schools, chiselling, forging, lighting and many more. Hoping to get it all up and running in the first half of this year.

Perhaps this can be used as somewhat of a schoolhub, then, as I noticed a couple of other dead threads out there.
Obviously it’d be great for it to still be a place to meet for actual lessons from volunteers … but it’d be good to do as much as possible (as easily as possible).
Oh … I found a image, too.
How I’m going to fit that in I don’t know
To quote one of the greatest films ever … The wheels sure do turn slow round here …
Yeah … but they do turn.

I need to make the windows all the same colour, but … getting closer to something that can be torn apart and played with.
Purples innit …

There’s a forger’s lane now that I’m all sorts of happy about, we totally could use a hub somewhere for schools or at least a “bookshop” sort of thing for location tokens for schools.

I think location tokens might work best as there can just be a huge ton of them. Naming conventions would be the most perfect, but is a bit of an ask … But, like you say, it’s the easiest way to have multiple tutorial links.
I know many people have put up examples of “how to” here and there, would be nice to catalogue that. 
EDIT - Switched convo with Solgato to DM to save the subject constantly updating.

I started making an atlas/blocks/tokens library, but I’m a slow builder, putting the tokens with an atlas in a storage cube at eye level to gaze into and the materials filling the rest of the column of storage cubes was how i was doing it but it was set up for me to use hence in the cubes, no stacks so i would see the information without opening the stack. i could put on a whole sleww of locations for wherever i was going and burn a replacement set before heading out.

Also, I’m just going to go ahead and say it’s open … I mean … it needs a bit of work, still, but it’s there.
You don’t need to use the school to meet up, but it exists if you like, there’s even an ‘unplotted’ classroom (1A) you can dig out and use for quick lessons. But you might be better off going to another place to do so.
Happy to take advice on the internals of the school. The basement will contain any portals that anyone wishes to set up to any examples of a “how to” on a given method. Not to mention that the basement itself is an example of underfloor lighting.
The RGB room will be given an example sub-room, too. Plus there’s a ‘laser room’ that shows how far gleam light travels through plain glass, a bit further on.
Im pretty sure the oortians before us had their versions of higher learning come and go. what we the citizens will do now that the oortians are gone from the universe is the question. Maybe madmanmoons school is the first step for many a citizen. Maybe there will be a trade school on how to setup and manage a shop in this citizen-driven economy.

Making myself available every night for the rest of this week to do lessons on the following:
- RGB Switch
- OVIS Switch
- Hidden Lighting
All lessons will be YOU doing stuff, none of this parrot / read the manual, learning from me.
With the basics of this, and @Ovis’ ‘run off’ liquid acceleration technique, I have high hopes for what people can achieve.
@ me in this thread, or DM me, and we’ll arrange a time to either meet at the school, or a place of your choosing.
CAVEAT - If others want to join in (and they might) then we’ll need to do a group thing, obvs. We’ll cross that bridge, but (as per the OP) it will be done at the time the person that asked for the lesson wants. Everyone else is along for the ride

ooh, that’s a tasty educational menu… what means night to you?
Ah, apologies, I’m UK based … so anything up to midnight my time will be fine … but I’m often awake later.
I’ve been a bit disengaged, recently, as I’ve been a bit bored of my builds, and have been spending a LOT of time building REST Web API integrations for some companies and I’m slightly addicted to it.
Anyway, if anyone, or @Solgato, would like to do some stuff, I’m eminently bookable. DM me, or @ me in this thread.
