Jagriti Agrawal | Kira Learning
The education system across North America is outdated. It was created in the height of the industrial revolution (in 1871) to transfer basic knowledge into children so they could grow up and work in factories. That education system created in the 1870s is the same education system we have today. And spoiler alert, it’s way past it’s due date.
We no longer need to create cookie cutter kids to work in factories - we should be creating kids that can solve hard problems in the world, apply knowledge to make an impact, and challenge kids to think critically and not flip to the back of the textbook for an answer.
In this episode of the Luminexus podcast, we talk with Jagriti Agrowal, co-founder of Kira Learning, a company that is disrupting how children learn and what they learn about. We talk with Jagriti about the importance of CS and AI education, and why this is the most important tool of the 21rst century that every body should know (+ how Kira is making this a reality!), and Jagriti’s journey developing the 2020 Perseverance rover, then doing a complete 180 and creating an EdTech startup.
In this episode, we talk about the importance of AI in education, and how artificial intelligence can solve the biggest problems in our education system to create the changemakers of tomorrow.
