Can We Supercharge School?
A new school in San Francisco thinks it can massively accelerate the speed at which children can learn, using clever technology and smart algorithms to offer each child a bespoke education.\n \nAltSchool believes it can achieve results that were only previously possible by giving individual children their own personal tutor.\n \nThe firm currently runs eight small \u2018lab schools\u2019 dotted around the country, all run from their California headquarters. But they have huge plans for expansion, and hope to sell their software to every school in the country.\n \nSam Judah meets the pupils at one of the schools, and the CEO at AltSchool\u2019s nerve centre, to find out what\u2019s behind the company\u2019s big idea.
