a16z 对谈 HAA 与 Replit CEO：学编程别上 Python 课，直接动手做项目

Gagan 表示学生不该只上 Python 课程，而要用 Python 做一个自己真正想做的项目，把语言当作工具来学。Amjad 称这种做法就是 project-based learning（项目式学习），他本人不认同单纯为知识而学习的动机，更看重技能能否帮他实现目标。

HAA 的办学理念包括不打分、不考试，以信任为核心设计原则，鼓励学生在课堂之外把感兴趣的项目做成正经事业。

HAA CEO Gagan Biyani and Replit CEO Amjad Masad on the simplest way to learn anything: build something you actually want with it. Gagan: "If you're going to learn coding at the academy, I don't want you just to take a class on Python. Go build something that you're super excited about in Python. Use it as a tool to learn the language." "The great thing about today, with AI, is every single student can go and do that on their own." "They don't need a customized syllabus or exercise given to them. They just need the freedom and confidence to say, 'Yes, you're allowed to do this. We're super excited about it.'" Amjad: "The buzzword for it is project-based learning. There shouldn't be a buzzword for it because that should be the standard." "The idea that you're learning something and you don't know the utility of it is a very modern invention, and it's a very weird thing to have done in society." "For someone like me, and I think for a lot of people that are more pragmatically minded, I'm not motivated at all by the pure pursuit of knowledge. I'm motivated by skills. What skills can it give me in order to achieve what I want to build and achieve my dreams?" @gaganbiyani @amasad
