What do the experts say about project-based learning?
Seymour Papert, famous expert on Artificial Intelligence, mathematics, and the education of children, states, "We teach numbers, then algebra, then calculus, then physics. Wrong! Start with engineering, and from that abstract out physics, and from that abstract out ideas of calculus, and eventually separate off pure mathematics. So much better to have the first-grade kid or [tag-self]kindergarten[/tag-self] kid doing engineering and leave it to the older ones to do pure mathematics, than to do it the other way around."
