Another Successful Montessori Alum
Posted on Monday, November 16, 2009
Will Wright who developed the SIMS computer games was Montessori educated and has this quote in his Wiki profile in relation to his education and to what he accomplished:“Montessori taught me the joy of discovery...It showed you can become interested in pretty complex theories, like Pythagorean theory, say, by playing with blocks. It’s all about learning on your terms, rather than a teacher explaining stuff to you. SimCity comes right out of Montessori—if you give people this model for building cities, they will abstract from it principles of urban design.”
