    Today I'm announcing that I have led the $5 million Series A round in @synthesischool. Our current education system was built for the industrial age. We must teach our children to be prepared for the digital age. More information in video and thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

    Our children are forced to sit still, be quiet, and simply do what they are told in school. We tell them what to think, rather than teach them how to think. Synthesis does the exact opposite. Children learn problem solving and critical thinking skills. synthesis.is

    The world needs many more innovators, entrepreneurs, and creatives. The legacy education system literally teaches students how to do the exact opposite. This should be a national emergency! Do you want your kid to be prepared for the future? Sign up: synthesis.is

    Some 8 - 14 year old kids in Synthesis went head-to-head with college graduate students in the complex games of the program. They young kids won. It wasn't even close. Different games call for different skill sets. You can be an academic or an innovator: synthesis.is
