Musk's previous experience in founding schools

馬斯克先前創辦學校的經歷

In 2014, Musk founded a non-profit online school Astra Nova School on the campus of SpaceX in California. That was an innovative school where he put his five children after pulling them out of a regular school since he did not approve of the curriculum.

2014年，馬斯克在加州SpaceX園區創辦了一所非營利線上學校Astra Nova School。那是一所創新學校，他把五個孩子從普通學校退學後安置在那裡，因為他不同意學校的課程。

In December 2023, according to tax filings, Musk donated $100 million to his charity “The Foundation” with a goal of establishing primary and secondary schools in Austin, Texas. Now, he is busy securing accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges in order to establish his own university.

2023 年 12 月，根據稅務申報，馬斯克向他的慈善機構「The Foundation」捐贈了 1 億美元，目標是在德克薩斯州奧斯汀建立小學和中學。現在，他正忙於獲得南方學院協會和學院委員會的認證，以建立自己的大學。

The curriculum for the school would include tuition on “mathematics, science, engineering and physics, alongside hands-on learning experience including simulations, case studies, fabrication/design projects, and labs”.

學校的課程將包括「數學、科學、工程和物理的學費，以及包括模擬、案例研究、製造/設計專案和實驗室在內的實踐學習經驗」。

The school is going to be free of charge and will be funded by donations, students are to be accepted based on merit. The school intends to onboard fifty students for a start.

學校將免費，並由捐款資助，學生將根據成績被錄取。學校打算先招收 50 名學生。
