Final Presentation Day
This final presentation will involve a review of all the learning that they have done on their own.
  • Being able to learn a new space on their own, utilizing all possible resources.
  • Becoming internally motivated to pursue interests.
  • Learning how to reach out to experts and get them to spend time teaching you.
I've been a self-directed learner for a long time. 

While I was a product manager at Uber and a student at Penn, I was always searching for startup ideas. I explored everything from building new form factors for reading to property management. I balanced school and work with this exploration, and eventually got funded by Y Combinator and General Catalyst. 

As a high schooler, I took 5 extra Cambridge A-levels by studying them on my own. This was externally motivated (I was trying to get into a good college), but it crystallized for me from an early age that learning on your own can be super effective.
