Elon Musk, known for pioneering innovations in technology and space exploration, has turned his attention to education with the launch of Ad Astra, a private preschool near Bastrop, Texas. Focusing on STEM and hands-on learning, the school integrates modern methods to equip children aged 3 to 9 with critical problem-solving skills. Backed by $100 million from Musk’s foundation, Ad Astra envisions expanding into a STEM university, aligning with Musk’s calls for educational reform centred on practical skills and workforce readiness.
