In our modern world, the old mechanized model of the university is simply not working.
Students come into a huge lecture hall where they absorb information that they spit back onto an exam.
All departments are separated from one another, and the connections between different fields are rarely explicitly made.
Students are not taught how to be thinkers, makers or do-ers. They're taught to listen and forget.
This university model changes everything by interconnecting knowledge and focusing on what the students miss in your traditional university.
The art of asking questions. The art of consolidating knowledge.
This is the kind of education we need in this new millennium to help us tackle the complex issues of the environment, society, economics, politics etc.
