Radical Learning ~ Design, Inspiration, Kids!

MIT Media Lab colleagues launch RADical design for LEARNING...

"Wtf is going on? Why are people limping out of 20 years of schooling without directed motivation, a solid internal compass, or a commitment to passionately pursuing their interests? Let’s examine why in a cozy, edgy, authentic seminar where we balance theory with real-world action (praxis). We’ll study the radical learning greats such as Illich, Papert, and Llewelyn, with focused readings and videos followed by discussion. Whenever possible we’ll try to have the authors or their direct students available for Q&A&Q. And through hands-on labs and projects we’ll design and enact experience-based transformations, like improvised music, consciousness altering strategies, electronics workshops etc."
