I get the spirit behind the idea of giving kids money to tinker, but this creates what's equivalent to a programmer who has only learned from stackoverflow and w3schools. There is a lot missing that's still part of the standard college curriculum, and the worlds problems will most likely need just as much theory as practical understanding.

Maybe this isn't because the kids were given freedom from school.
Maybe it's because the person funding them came from Stanford.
Is this criticism not the basis of the article itself?
