Quality education - the key to a harmonious and competent personality development. He thinks so, and Elon Musk - the founder of the space program and the "father" of electric vehicles. He decided to translate one of his next idea: to create a place where young geniuses will be trained.
Institution of SpaceX- truly one of the most unusual schools in the world. There do not put estimates do not teach physical education and teaching foreign languages. So what is the essence of the curriculum?
Educational Center is among the SpaceX company laboratories. For his five sons, Elon Musk has created a school that was originally only eight students. Name of the institution is quite logical - Ad Astra, which translated from Latin means "to the stars". Usually projects Mask quite loud and very quickly get a lot of publicity, but this school for a long time there was a secret.
Institution, which, to date, has about forty people, is absolutely unique. At school, no grading system, children learn in groups. It does not teach sports discipline and are not engaged in the arts as well - do not teach foreign languages as Elon sure that very soon the simultaneous translation technology will make this knowledge useless.
Under the program, small geniuses studying the principles of artificial intelligence, and learning to make themselves algorithms. ethics, ecology, applied disciplines also dealt with in detail.
Children are allowed to build flamethrowers, robots, arrange chemical experiments with explosions. The school introduced its own currency Astra, by which students learn how to handle money.
