This week, Udacity had a great time at TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2013, where Sebastian Thrun and Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom spoke at a panel on the future of higher education.

Sebastian talked about Udacity’s Open Education Alliance, an industry-wide alliance of employers and educators who want to provide higher education to empower students to pursue careers in tech.

Tune in for TechCrunch highlights and to hear about future Udacity courses that will empower students and address the gap between skills employers need and what traditional universities teach.
