What it is.
Also known as "learning by doing" & "action learning", project-based learning occurs when learners are working on real-world problems.
Why do it.
Research shows that by actively building their knowledge, project-based learners are more likely to develop a deeper & longer lasting understanding.
What it is.
Artificial intelligence (AI), is a computer that has some level of intelligence. Large language models are a type of AIÂ that will dramatically transform education.
Why do it.
1-1 tutoring has been proven to be the most effective way for individuals to learn. With AI, everyone with compute can access a world class, personalized tutor.
What it is.
Peer learning occurs when learners collaborate with and teach one another.
Why do it.
Research shows that peer learning can increase learning outcomes, improve communication & teamwork skills, and learners can accomplish more.
Getting expert insights into any domain is one of the most efficient ways to learn.
Whether residents want to better understand artificial intelligence or want help raising their Series A, we have an expert who they can call.
Coaches focus on strengthening resident's internal motivation & unblocking any social-emotional hurdles that stop residents from reaching their goals.
The coach can kick the resident out of the program if the coach determines that a resident is not making reasonable progress on their goals.
Residents are given free housing in an apartment with 3 of their peers!
The fridge and pantry will always be stocked with healthy food.
To ensure a positive living experience, we have "house huddles" and cleaners come once a week. With firsthand experience co-living ourselves, we have more surprises in store to ensure a welcoming atmosphere for all.
Each resident receives $3,000 every trimester to spend as needed.
If additional funds are needed by the cohort, we have a network of investors they can pitch.
Your environment is everything. It influences productivity, creativity, and happiness. In the coworking space, residents are surrounded by motivated individuals working on a variety of projects.
We require use of the coworking space in order to maximize the opportunity for serendipitous interactions that can lead to novel ideas and collaborations.
Pairs of residents learn new topics together by participating in peer learning sessions which involve cultivating the motivation to learn, teaching each other, and reflecting on feedback.
Our approach is inspired by Sahil Bloom and Richard Feynman’s technique to learn anything.
