Gagan Biyani announces The Horowitz Andreessen Academy, a new elite school in San Francisco for top high school graduates:
- The #1 goal is teaching students to build, framed as the most important skill of the AI era;
- Learning is project-based (individual or group), supplemented by classes and guest lectures from builders of modern Silicon Valley;
- The school is designed as a network to attract top-tier talent and prepare students for the future.
Erik Torenberg notes he's wanted to build this for a decade and nearly teamed up with Biyani six years ago.
