Young student's educational performance is now at a 50 year low. We are cramming more material, and pouring more resources into classrooms but it is not working.
Why? well the average middle / high schooler does not get to decide what they will learn. School is filled with classes, locked into rigid timetables and pre-determined content. Student's don't get the opportunity to explore what truly fascinates them. Most will sit passively, intent on memorizing information presented.
Curiosity and Autonomy is a powerful combination. One that is severely lacking in most people today. But you can’t just expect a child to learn independently. We need a balance of guidance and self-direction.
This frustration ultimately led me to build Inquistory, an AI textbook for history. Unlike a textbook, students don’t just passively read through long chapters of content. Inquistory briefly explains a high level ideas a student, and student's must inquire about the content to advance.
Like a textbook, Inquistory utilizes both primary and secondary sources create content. This involves displaying relevant images within the text and providing citations for the sources referenced.
Inquistory suggests relevant historical figures that student's can chat with based on the content that they are learning.
