    • Taking a look at this, its been decades. Very institutionalized and modelled on standard school curricula (always was to some extent)
    • One of their courses(!) is AI for education
    • And something called wireless philosophy
      • What is that Ask Claude
        • **Wireless Philosophy (Wi-Phi)** is a free, online philosophy education project. Here's a quick breakdown:
        • Wi-Phi is an open-access philosophy website that aims to "introduce people to the practice of philosophy by making videos that are freely available in a form that is entertaining."
        • It was created in collaboration between Yale and MIT, and features content from philosophy experts at leading institutions.
        • The aim is for people to learn how to do philosophy, rather than simply learn what philosophers have thought — developing critical thinking skills that are core to the methodology of philosophy, as part of a larger mission of building collective capacity for rational thought and discourse.
        • Topics covered include deductive and inductive arguments, ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophies of thinkers like Aristotle, Locke, and Descartes, and more — organized into areas like Critical Thinking, Metaphysics & Epistemology, Value Theory, and History of Philosophy.
        • The site hosts over 160 videos and features over 70 scholars.
        • Wi-Phi modules and videos are collaborative efforts — faculty contribute by writing scripts and recording audio, after which a team of learning designers, illustrators, animators, and developers produce the final animations and modules.
        • It's also available as partner content on Khan Academy. The website is wi-phi.com.
