This Hack will help you think like an inventor so that you can learn like one.

Our traditional education system was designed in the 18th and 19th centuries, to meet the social and market needs of the time.

But today, our children still attend an education system that would be easily recognised by our grandparents.

To thrive in the 21st century, we need an education that can help us deal with 21st-century problems, using 21st-century tools and knowledge.

Peter Dalmaris is an educator and engineer who has worked with young adults as a university lecturer for 15 years.

Having witnessed the limits of traditional education as it leaves students ill-prepared to take on modern challenges, Dalmaris proposes that students learn from inventors — people who are able to use their imagination, curiosity, and limited resources to learn quickly in order to solve problems.

In this Hack, you will understand how an inventor thinks and learns so that you can use their process of learning in your personal and professional life.
