I think it's a great idea because it challenges the status-quo idea of what college has to be. We can agree 18 year olds can bring fresh ideas - they are much closer to the cultural future and more agile on any new technology. An 18 will see things elders won't and they have a TON of energy. But 18s aren't typically 'wise' by making all the mistakes you make over decades to learn from. At any age we all need role models outside of our peers to stay maximally effective. The experience of a 40 year old in the mix of 18s is INVALUABLE. Teams should almost always be multi-generational or they can become myopic. A multi-gen team will make better products than a team of 50-60 year olds alone or a team of 18 year olds alone
