WHO | WHAT | WHY OF SUGAR
The approach I have taken in the past is to ask the audience of engineers under what circumstances they learn best: sitting in a lecture or trying to debug a problem. Then ask why, if debugging is where the learning happens, we still seem to give children tools to mimic the all-eyes-forward style of learning we found so debilitating. Sugar aims to change all of that. Enough said. 7
