Learning How to Learn is a Superpower
"Each project you do will improve your general metalearning. Every project has the opportunity to teach you new learning methods, new ways to gather resources, better time management, and improved skills for managing your motivation...Ultimately, this effect far outweighs the effect of doing a specific project."

"Transfer, the ability to apply classroom learning to real-world problems, is startlingly rare.

Transfer is the "Holy Grail" of education that is seldom achieved through standard classroom instruction."
