Mr Thrun now believes that education is the best way to tackle the big upheavals that are likely to spring from the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence and robotics. But not education as you might know it. “We are still living with an educational system that was developed in the 1800s and 1900s,” he says. “Needs have shifted in the modern age and what’s also shifted is our ability to use digital media. We can now deliver a top-notch education at home in a way that was never possible before.”

Mr Thrun insists that nanodegrees are distinct from massive open online courses (MOOCs), the digital lecture series which are now offered by many higher educational institutions. Udacity analyses individual students’ learning data (using AI) in an attempt to increase their retention and completion rates. “We effectively reverse-engineer the human learning brain to find out what it means for a person to engage,” says Mr Thrun. “It’s my dream to make learning as addictive as a video game.”
-
Depending on their complexity, nanodegrees are designed to take just 4-12 months to complete. Shorter courses like these are appropriate for today’s high-paced workplace, says Mr Thrun.
-
If you only spend six months on your first degree, as opposed to the average six years for a bachelor’s degree today, you can afford to get more education when you need it again later on.”

Designers, Makers, Users: 3D Printing the Future OPENING @modatl
Designers, Makers, Users: 3D Printing the Future
Exhibition On View from September 20, 2015 – January 10, 2016 at MODA (Museum of Design Atlanta)
3D printing technology and the open source communities surrounding it are rapidly changing the world by making the powerful, new tools of design and manufacturing available to a much wider audience. This accessibility ultimately allows each one of us to design customized solutions to the complex problems around us.
Designers, Makers, Users: 3D Printing the Future will explore projects, both large and small, in which 3D printing technology is being used in innovative ways. From fabricating lighter components for airplanes to designing custom prosthetics, this exhibition will explore the exciting designs made possible by 3D printing and the many questions that these technological advances will raise for our future.
The exhibition will include projects such as:
- The Made in Space Zero-G 3D Printer that traveled to the International Space station in 2014
- Nooka Watches and a FreshFiber Bubble Lamp by 3D Systems
- Chase Me, a stop-motion film made entirely with 3D printed characters and sets
- Design for 3D printing a lunar habitation on the moon by Foster + Partners
- Kinematics Dress by Nervous System
Designers, Makers, Users: 3D Printing the Future is an original exhibition organized by the Museum of Design Atlanta with the support of 3D Systems, Advanced RP, Essdack, Dremel, Formlabs, PaliProto, the Northside Hospital Foundation, Fulton County Arts and Culture, and the City of Atlanta’s Office of Cultural Affairs
