There's a big push in this area at the moment. I've just recently started a Head of Engineering role where I'm developing supporting tech for school aged children. In our case the programs are currently more on the supplementary side of things rather than replacing core curriculum.
I don't have anything to do with it (yet?) but our sister institution is Alpha School - https://alpha.school https://alpha.school
They're trying to change schooling to be more efficient, engaging, and self directed.
My understanding is they're far from alone, and there's a lot of interest in overhauling traditional schooling at the moment.
I mean, there's been interest in overhauling traditional schooling since forever. However, a significant up-tick in (temporary?) home-schooling during the pandemic really got parents thinking about education methodologies.
