🎧 Episode Description (Show Notes)
What if children could learn almost anything—just by being curious? In the last episode, we discussed how the 19th-century Prussian education model—designed to produce punctual, obedient workers and loyal soldiers—shifted the educational system in America.
In 1999, Sugata Mitra embedded a computer in a wall in a Delhi slum and watched as street kids, with no prior exposure to technology, taught themselves to browse the internet, play games, and even grasp complex concepts—all without a teacher in sight!
Today, Lisa explores what Sugata Mitra got right about how children naturally learn, and whether a cloud-powered, curiosity-first future of education is still within reach.
