Self-learning environment

We call spaces that make this possible Self Organized Learning Environments (SOLEs). children are encouraged to work together to answer big questions using the internet. These places are fuelled by self-discovery, sharing and spontaneity.

BIG QUESTION

Learning Curiosity

My area

We are naturally curious.

Technology

Can we understand our own curiosity and develop ourselves from it?
