What problem does this solve? Sleep deprivation for people who don't drink soda, tea or coffee?
- karnajani 13y agoSeriously. All I could think is,this is one of the world's toughest problems? I get the spirit behind the idea of giving kids money to tinker, but this creates what's equivalent to a programmer who has only learned from stackoverflow and w3schools. There is a lot missing that's still part of the standard college curriculum, and the worlds problems will most likely need just as much theory as practical understanding.
- JacksonGariety 13y agoMaybe this isn't because the kids were given freedom from school. Maybe it's because the person funding them came from Stanford.
