Yeah I mean I don't really see how we could practically make this approach work in a standard classroom, but the idea that CGP Grey presents where each student would have a sort of AI-tailored personal curriculum (or "digital Aristotle" as he calls it) would potentially allow for it, since each student then gets their own interests turned into projects they can work towards (and still learning the same concepts) while the group teacher is mainly there as an observer and helper.

I think if you put together an entire class of completely different projects that all somehow end up teaching trigonometry it would also help show everyone all the possible applications for it when discussing afterwards. I never would've guessed trig is used in audio for example.
