Nolan Bushnell, founder of the Atari, believes his cloud computing game known as “Speed to Learn” could teach an entire high school education in just one year. Bushnell has been working on this project for 10 years. He is a strong believer that computers are one of the best ways to teach children. “We’ve been in hundreds of classroom with 40,000 kids. We are currently teaching subjects 10 times faster. We believe that when we roll this up to full curriculum we’ll be able to teach a full career of high school in less than a year. And we think we’ll be able to do that by the end of next year.” Speed to Learn is an incentive based system. Do well, get rewarded. “The whole idea is to give rewards that real kids want to have, and to have school be as chaotic as possible,” said Bushnell.
