You imagine it happening.

How do you know what you want to be when you grow up, when you’ve never been there?

You imagine it happening.

The Real Game, like no other educational experience I’m aware of, offers this opportunity.

ImaginationWhere Everything Starts

• If you can see it clearly enough, and want it badly enough, unforeseen forces start to conspire in our favor - Heliotropic effect

• Dreams are completely personal, relevant, motivational, invoke passion and inspire action - they are how the future is created

• If you can see it clearly enough, and want it badly enough, unforeseen forces start to conspire in our favour - Heliotropic effect

• With dreams we become intentional and purposeful - otherwise we drift in react mode

Play is LearningOur school system is based largely on conditioning rather than learning. The only way children can learn is through

what adults interpret as play. This is why students retain so little of what they are taught in school. (Children retain 3-5%

of curriculum - Carnegie Foundation, 1963).

What is learned in a state of play becomes a permanent neural pattern in the brain. It is never lost. If we recognized the direct correspondence between play and learning, and the dramatic difference between learning and conditioning,

schooling would vastly more successful. John Chilton Pearce with Michael Mendizza
