Augment your meta-skills

Context

Systems we create and take part in are complex and entangled. Just like nature is. Narrow disciplinary and subject focus deprive the young minds of richer experiences.

Rushing through content leaves behind young mind losing interest and thinking they aren’t capable. It needn’t be so.

What if young minds can explore their environment and see things differently?
