When a degree no longer guarantees a job and curriculums effectively get outdated within a few years:
How can we provide personalized education at scale, that adapts to the fast-changing state of the world, and still entertains up-to-date, engaging insights to their students?

Students won’t learn subjects, they’ll learn skills.
Most information lives in our pockets anyway, so it’s a more sustainable, future-proof approach to spend that time learning to learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Learning is about collecting and connecting dots.
Unlearning is about differentiating between what’s fake and what’s real.
Relearning is about dissecting what’s valuable and what’s irrelevant to you.

High schools and universities will intertwine and turn into modular, life-long learning experiences that continuosly build your education portfolio as you take immersive courses, practice, build projects, work with peers, and get feedback.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Classrooms as we knew them will die and get replaced by elaborate online rooms, pods, bootcamps, and a cumulation of hands-on projects where students learn from each other.
Students’ hard work is not revised by merely one instructor, but by peers, experts, and even strangers.

Learning will be contextualized so its relevance makes sense, otherwise students will not care to study.
And when students don’t care, learning can’t happen.
Learning math for math’s sake makes no sense when it’s not contextualized to real world experiences.

These experiences are gamified, build upon one another, and eventually lead the student to a better understanding of their talents, interests, and intentions.
Software and alternative formats have enabled a more tailored, scalable experience for the students.

In the end, it’s easy to accept the current education model is broken, but it’s hard to design a new model that makes the old one obsolete.
