Any plans on implementing business lessons as well? Searching 'marketing','finance', and 'accounting' came up with nothing. As much as I love studying the hard sciences, I feel that at least some degree of familiarity with the domain of business could significantly help the scientist or engineer when they are out looking for jobs, working within a large company, or trying to start their own thing.

A good business curriculum (or even just a series of classes) is something that I find lacking online, as well as within the STEM majors at my university.

We're currently discussing whether to aim for breadth or depth with metacademy, i.e. whether we want to work towards becoming the "ultimate AI resource" or a differently structured wikipedia. If you, or someone you know, has the necessary knowledge/interest to contribute business content, we'd love to work with them to add it to metacademy.
