"""Thoughtful and practical, Kelly makes the case for being a real learner and then shows how he's doing it with Prenda microschools."" - Tyler Cowen, American economist, author, and Professor of Economics at George Mason University ""I spend a lot of time trying to show people how curiosity and creativity make life more interesting. Kelly is doing the same thing with microschools, and this book explains the whole thing."" - Mark Rober, YouTuber, engineer, and inventor ""Since my daughter was born, I've thought a lot about how to develop a mindset in her for lifelong learning-in this modern world. Learning how to learn is going to be something I know will make all the difference in her life, and I want every child to have that same opportunity. This book explains how that can happen and all the good it will bring to society."" - Alexis Ohanian, Founder of Seven Seven Six & Co-Founder and Former Executive Chairman of Reddit"

Author Information

Kelly Smith's childhood obsession with learning and building things led him to earn a master's degree in nuclear fusion from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, start a nonprofit and two companies, and develop multiple products at technology companies. While volunteering at an after-school code club at the library, he saw firsthand what happens when young people really want to learn, which led him to start a microschool around his kitchen table in January 2018. He went on to create Prenda (prenda.com), an education company that helps people run microschools. Kelly is a founder and CEO, a husband and father of four, and an enthusiastic learner.
