I was given the opportunity of the lifetime in 2014 — I started an experimental school with Elon Musk on the campus of SpaceX. Our biggest question was: what should students really be learning in school?
We decided that there are three things that matter most:
But even if schools share these goals, the curriculum they use does not.
So I designed a one-of-a-kind class called Synthesis to develop these essential skills. How? Through a game-based problem solving environment that allows kids to gain confidence, make friends, and get practice making better decisions.
Until recently, Synthesis was only available to a handful of SpaceX families. Today, we have a global community united by the exhilarating experience of working together on compelling problems.
We can't wait for you to join us.
