Becoming Brilliant ─ What Science Tells Us About Raising Successful Children

This book uses science to find out how people learn in order to suggest a new way to equip our children with the tools they need to become collaborative, creative, competent, and responsible citizens. When the LEGO Ideas Conference convened, there were 300 like-minded people gathered to start an educational movement. They were meeting because they recognized the disconnect between the way we are educating our children around the world and the needs of a modern society. The authors cite that change will require rethinking how children learn, appreciating that there is more than content, that the social child is best equipped to be the smart child, that creativity is the currency of our time, and that the best learning occurs when we fail along the way. res.
