"Elon Musk's secretive LA private school, Ad Astra, has developed a new tool for teachers and students.
Educational software developer ClassDojo
is partnering up with Ad Astra to develop a set of critical thinking
puzzles called "Conundrums" that they'll release to teachers and
students this fall. The tools are meant to offer the type of critical
thinking espoused by Ad Astra, although Ad Astra is not using this
specific tool.
The Conundrums pose open-ended critical
thinking or ethical problems for the students, who are then encouraged
to discuss the issues among themselves and reason out a solution. They
tend to pose somewhat more nuanced and complicated questions than most
elementary or middle school curricula address."
