Having the freedom to explore, create, play, fail and learn from this project is incredibly important in terms of hands on learning and enjoyment.
Play is inherently interactive and it encourages exploration. The project holds creative freedom and experimentation as a key factor in engagement and enthusiasm for learning.
The project is setup to encourage experimentation with a series of modular lessons that build upon key skills learnt every term. This aids in confidence and the ability to remix older works, have the desire to play and explore possibilities through the creative freedom and iterative approach the project affords.
“Play is stepping out of reality, into a temporary sphere of activity, with a disposition all of its own.”
Johan Huizinga
