PEDAGOGY
No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life,
we're all about trying things out, failing, figuring what went wrong &
trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a
lifetime. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who
learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who
solve real world problems to make meaningful impact.
