Side School ([website](https://www.side.school/?utm_source=website&utm_medium=personal-website&utm_content=benissencom)) is a school I started with [Zineb Salamat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zineb-salamat-11ba7955/) in 2024. It's a school to train adults to learn new technologies (like AI), on the side of their job. Unlike other schools, we focus on practical training, specifically the action learning method. The core of action learning is intensive project-based, peer-to-peer learning. In simple terms, it just means student learn by working on their own projects, while being challenged with tiny objectives and getting feedback from others. Side School is also my dream school. It's a labor of love. Motivating people to learn new skills, even though they're lazy, busy, and resistant to change, is a problem I've been passionate about for as long as I can remember ([[My journey journaling every day for 10 years]]). My co-founder, Zineb, previously founded 6 online schools and she's exceptional ([[My friends are all the same]]). Unlike [[Supercreative]], Side School is a broader team effort. Recruiting top team members is one of the activities I like doing the most. The main trait I look for in candidates is intense curiosity and appetite for action.
