Gagan Biyani announced the launch of The Horowitz Andreessen Academy, a new school in San Francisco aimed at the most promising young high school graduates.
- Core premise: teach students to build, described as the most important skill in the AI era; learning happens mainly through individual or group projects, plus classes and guest lectures.
- Instructors come from the people who built modern Silicon Valley, and the school is designed as a network.
- Erik Torenberg reposted, saying he has wanted to build this for a decade and nearly teamed up with Gagan six years ago.
