It is an invariable principle of all play, finite and infinite, that whoever plays, plays freely. Whoever must play, cannot play.
Finite and Infinite Games

It recognizes that knowledge is not just a collection of concepts. As students work together on projects, they learn not only webs of concepts, but also sets of strategies—strategies for making things, for solving problems, for communicating ideas. When Brightworks students worked on the Kid City project, for example, they learned strategies for collaborating with others, for understanding different points of view, for making sense of unfamiliar situations. The project-based approach is particularly well-suited for helping students develop as creative thinkers. As students work on projects, they gain an understanding of the creative process. They learn how to iterate through the Creative Learning Spiral: how to start with an initial idea, build prototypes, share with others, run experiments, and revise their ideas based on feedback and experiences.

“Travel now by all means—if you have the time. But travel the right way, the way I travel. I am always reading and thinking of the history and geography of a place. I see its people in terms of these, placed in the social framework of time and space. Take the prairies, for example; you’re wasting your time visiting these unless you know the saga of the homesteaders, the influence of law and religion at different times, the economic problems, the difficulties of communication, and the effects of successive mineral finds.
