Android co-founder Rich Miner heading up 'mysterious' Google education project - CNET

What exactly is Google's new education project? No one really knows, but according to Tech Crunch and originally reported by Fortune, Android co-founder Rich Miner is leaving GV (formerly known as Google Ventures) to head up the 'mysterious' new edtech initiative within Google Inc. It will not be an Alphabet company.

While most of Miner's team will reportedly be based in Silicon Valley, Miner will remain in Cambridge, Mass.

"I don't actually know exactly what we're building yet," Miner told Fortune's Dan Primack. "Just like Android took us our years to get the first device out and I helped create WildFire 25 years ago as a voice-based personal assistant, which is just now starting to happen. This vision is another big idea, but it will take time."
