An Educational Software Platform written in Python

[Cai Gengyang]

So after reading YCombinator's new RFS, I have decided I want to build an educational software platform written in Python (mostly, if not entirely).


Here is the description from YCombinator's RFS :

If we can fix education, we can eventually do everything else on this list.
The first attempts to use technology to fix education have focused on using the Internet to distribute traditional content to a wider audience. This is good, but the Internet is a fundamentally different medium and capable of much more.

Solutions that combine the mass scale of technology with one-on-one in-person interaction are particularly interesting to us.

This may not require a "breakthrough" technology in the classical sense, but at a minimum it will require very new ways of doing things.


What resources would I need to obtain, learn and utilise on order to create this platform? Can I create something like this entirely in Python, or would I need to learn other technologies? Anyone can give some directions, thanks alot !
