Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6

This class will cover the history and present of Elon Musk, with a focus on Tesla, SpaceX, and his ambitions for Mars.

The content takes place in kid-friendly chronological order, similar to his biography:

1) Childhood and Education 
2) Zip2 and PayPal
3) Tesla
4) SpaceX (history and rockets) and Mars plans
5) Mars-related Projects (The Boring Company and Starlink)

This class involves discussion, an image-heavy slideshow, and some short video clips. 

Students will have many chances to...

Students will learn how Elon Musk came to found, invest in, own, and/or run multiple billion-dollar companies. They will learn about Elon's revolutionary companies such as SpaceX and Tesla, and they will leave inspired, motivated, and confident that they can change the world as well.

In addition to having read his biography 3+ times, I am a big fan and consume much more Elon content than any normal person probably should.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
