Our history students spend 45 minutes a day voluntarily learning geography. Every break, Every lunch... Same thing... GeoGuesser. So we asked the obvious question: Why doesn't this exist for history? We built it. You watch AI footage from a time and place in history. Then you guess where and when it happened. They love it.
Sad news for Epic Games. Hope the efforts to turn things around can work. gamesbeat.com/epic-games-lay…
Believe in the Hail Mary. Watch the final trailer for Project Hail Mary — only in theaters and IMAX, March 20.
Critics: "The Alpha model only works because it's a $50k+ private school." Texas Sports Academy: "Hold our Gatorade." Thousands of Texas homeschoolers are applying for ESA vouchers to access the exact same Alpha School academics. One student just jumped from a 6th to 11th-grade reading level. 🤯 Reminder: This is the LAST weekend to apply for your voucher.
@teachthemx3 The head of an elite private school told me that more than 50% of his students had after-school tutors. He wasn't embarrassed. He thought it was normal. If half your customers need to pay a third party to make your product work, your product is broken.
We asked Texas Sports Academy students to describe their school: - "This is the first year I've ever been happy after school" - "Moved up from 6th grade to 11th grade reading" - "2 homers and we've only played 4 games" - "I just want to be at school all the time" Texas Sports Academy students get 2 hours of AI-powered academics and 3 hours of elite sports training - all before the school day is over. Hear from our students:
Make $1m by graduation. Or get 100% of your tuition refunded. That's the promise of the new high school for entrepreneurs Cameron and I are launching this fall through @AlphaSchoolATX. We need 2-3 coaches to help make it happen. DM us or apply!
17 y/o. Speaking @sxsw today Topic: How I am using AI agents that simulate students to validate edtech before kids ever touch it.
We are very quietly building a multi-disciplinary skill-tree for kids will link their favorite video games to their academics, amongst other things
“Study more” is useless advice. Student will just keep rereading the textbook, doing worksheets. total waste of time. So we built one of the most advanced diagnostics in the world. 400+ skills per course. So instead of "review Unit 5," I can tell you the exact 23 skills in Unit 5 you're missing.
I low-key think that we are in the middle of an education apocalypse and that we need something like a national taskforce to figure out how to navigate what the future of education looks like
