How to create a new education in a digital world
summary
42 runs a tuition-free, peer‑graded programming school that removes teachers, courses, exams and deadlines and selects students via online logic tests plus a four‑week 24/7 project‑based "piscine" bootcamp, taking ~3,000 applicants down to ~1,000 enrollees. Curriculum starts in C (write printf/malloc, build a custom libc), students earn XP and levels through a project galaxy, submit code to GitHub, undergo five peer corrections, and aim for level 21; alumni include contributors who helped create Docker.
