- They address questions that children may not normally encounter in a standard curriculum.
- ClassDojo shared a couple examples of the new Conundrums with Business Insider.
Elon Musk’s secretive LA private school, Ad Astra, is adding a new tool to its curriculum.
Educational software developer ClassDojo is partnering up with Ad Astra to develop a set of critical thinking puzzles called “Conundrums” that they’ll release to teachers and students this fall.
The Conundrums pose open-ended critical thinking or ethical problems for the students, who are then encouraged to discuss the issues among themselves and reason out a solution. They tend to pose somewhat more nuanced and complicated questions than most elementary or middle school curricula address.
Here are a couple examples of the Conundrums, provided to Business Insider by ClassDojo:
