Berlin-based edtech startup Tomorrow’s Education raises €1.1 million to educate the changemakers of the future
Summary
Unlike traditional, one-dimensional instruction and passive consumption of knowledge, Tomorrow’s Education’s (founded in 2020) active learning model is challenge based. “We’re all about unlocking potential and increasing the self-efficacy of every student.” Dr. Thomas Funke, co-founder of Tomorrow’s Education, added: “When considering online classes, most people envision pre-recorded lectures or endless video calls. Such practices, based on traditional classroom instruction, have been shown to be largely ineffective, leading to minimal understanding, retention, or recall of the information being taught. It translates into a combination of challenges and social learning, giving the students a tangible result: a truly entrepreneurial mindset rather than skills training for a specific job.” Simultaneous to the funding round, the startup also announces the launch of a double accredited Professional Master’s program in Sustainability, Entrepreneurship and Technology (SET). The programme relies on a platform using artificial intelligence and constant data-driven feedback, and focuses on personalized, active and challenge-based learning formats.
