This has been overdue with me too, but I was holding out for 4.0. At the 
moment it looks worthwhile to leverage the work Chris Gammel has put 
into teaching folks. He's put out one public video to do with 4.0 here 
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yFZ6PUwKL8>. If others are more tuned 
into the state of his updated Kicad "curriculum" I know many of us would 
be eager to get details.
