Xavier Niel's '42': a coding school with no teachers and no staff

Shaan describes School 42, where Niel built a facility full of computers and made the computer itself the lesson plan—students level up through game-like projects collaboratively, with no teachers, no staff, and no tuition.

“I'm gonna create a computer science school with no teachers and no staff. So all he did was create this dope facility with a bunch of computers. And if you get into 42, you just come and the computer is your lesson plan. So it's like a video game.”
