In today’s episode, Ana Lorena Fábrega joins me to explore how we can make learning more engaging and help kids express their creative energy. We dive into rethinking traditional schooling methods, the power of letting kids share their own ideas, and what video games can teach us about motivation and fulfillment. Ana, a former teacher turned author and edupreneur at Synthesis, shares insights from her book The Learning Game on how to encourage kids to think independently, embrace challenges, and develop a lifelong love for learning.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why we should question the “right” way to do school
  • The one thing kids are most excited to write or share about
  • How video games tap into key elements for happiness and engagement
  • Strategies to help kids embrace challenges and think for themselves
  • How to nurture a love for learning in and beyond the classroom
