Origin Story: Six years ago, Elon Musk asked Josh Dahn, the Creative Director of Synthesis, to start an experimental school with him at SpaceX.The goal was to develop students who are enthralled by complexity and solving for the unknown.Synthesis is the most innovative learning experience from that school. It is designed to cultivate student voice, strategic thinking, and collaborative problem solving.Until recently, Synthesis was only available to a handful of SpaceX families. Today, our community is worldwide and growing quickly. Excited to be part of it!
