Great article. I was just talking about inquiry-based learning yesterday. Check out LEGO Education products - they have some great products (their science curricula really excited me.)

💯 agree! One of my favorite aspects of early education is how quickly a child's mind is sparked and how much is absorbed. Dr. Maria Montessori's pedagogy is a great example of how this is applied in the classroom. I believe as product leaders as we design digital learning experiences this will be key to driving engagement and critical thinking..

It's personal, it's deep, it's wonder-led and it's experiential. From there expanding knowledge discovery through direct instruction adds the layer of width
