In the Belike series this week, Learner Circle would like to talk about the journey of Elon Musk to encourage children all over the world to be an innovator like Elon Musk. To motivate children to constantly try new things and push themselves out of their comfort zone.
At Learner Circle, our vision is to motivate children into a journey of lifelong learning.
Our digital platform offers a diverse range of online courses of short duration. The curriculum is fun, interesting, and interactive. We understand that motivation plays a crucial role in encouraging children to learn.
The objective of the #Belike series is to inspire children with appropriate role models. We believe real life stories are a strong point of influence for children, especially if the story involves someone like Elon Musk.
About Elon Musk:
Elon Musk is the CEO of Tesla, an electric car company. He was one of the early investors in the company and later progressed to CEO. He is widely known for his space exploits, ever since he founded SpaceX, an aerospace transportation services company. He is also known as an entrepreneur and an industrial engineer. He was raised in Pretoria, Africa, born to a South African father and Canadian mother. Musk was an awkward, introverted child and was constantly bullied at school. It was obvious he had an acumen for business and technology at an early age.
Start early
Only at the age of 12, he developed the code for a BASIC-based video game and sold it for about $500.
He dropped out of Stanford University after two days to pursue a business career. It was very early in his career that he founded X.com, an online bank which merged with Confinity in 2000. This company had launched PayPal and was subsequently bought by eBay for $1.5 billion.
Pursue your dreams relentlessly
After Musk became involved with a non-profit called Mars Society, he got inspired to take a trip to Mars. After several failed attempts at acquiring resources, Musk decided to start his own company that could build rockets. That’s how the journey of SpaceX began, of which he is CEO and lead designer. The company is an aerospace manufacturer and is a space transport services company. From the year 2006 to 2008 SpaceX made several failed attempts launching into space. The company received financial funding from NASA for 12 flights into space. In 2015, having achieved its goal of reusable rockets, SpaceX successfully launched Falcon 9.
Constantly Innovate
In the year 2018, he was ranked 25th on the Forbes list of ‘The World’s Most Powerful People.’ And was also ranked joint-first on the Forbes list of the Most Innovative Leader of 2019. In the first week of January 2021, Musk became the richest person in the world, post the pandemic. In 2008 Tesla built its first electric sports car called Roadster. By March 2020, it became the world’s best-selling electric car. In 2006, he helped create SolarCity, a solar energy services company. In 2015, he co-founded OpenAI, a non- profit research company that aims to promote friendly artificial intelligence. In 2016, he co-founded Neuralink, a neurotechnology company focused on developing brain-computer interfaces.

Dream big and reach for the stars
In May 2020, Elon Musk’s SpaceX made history by launching the first crewed mission to space by a private company. It was the first such mission since 2011 and was a crucial mission as it was sent with a specific purpose of sending humans to space and colonizing Mars. With innumerable innovations and cutting-edge scientific developments under his radar, Elon Musk has now shifted his interest to India as well. After Tesla made its IPO in 2010, it reached a market capitalisation of $1 trillion in 2021.
Conclusion
If you want to be like Elon Musk, then the way to begin is to start a journey of discovery and learning. Most iconic personalities begin their journey in their early years thus reinforcing the importance of early age development. Learner Circle believes that children in their younger years should be encouraged to try new things. By introducing different cognitive interventions to kids at an early age, it becomes easier to nurture and shape the way the brain functions later. Learner Circle is at the forefront of shaping a whole new generation of kids into passionate learners and formidable leaders like Elon Musk. Whether the learning is indoors or outdoors, it's important to understand the acumen and aptitude of the child before you sign up for a course.
