Recently, there has been a wave of amazing new online college classes offered for free. The frenzy started with Stanford’s Artificial Intelligence Class in October 2011. Tens of thousands of school students – some as young as 13 years old – have already successfully passed college level computer science classes. And now there are courses available in fields such as physics, business, humanities, and statistics.
So, we decided to run a worldwide competition. At stake is an all-expenses paid visit to Stanford University and a tour of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence lab, including the famed self-driving car. (And there might be a chance to ride in a self-driving car!). Professor Sebastian Thrun will be welcoming the winners personally and showing them around.
Sebastuan Thrun is doing a Reddit AMA right now, too!
Education has never been more interesting than now. The Internet is helping revolutionize education.
Also, see MIT’s own initiative.
