Most likely, the school will start out small, perhaps a few of us, doing
workshops on various things, teaching people different skills. Perhaps some
Creativity Workshops, to teach people how to loosen up and learn how to play
with things and create things with various materials and find novel solutions
to problems. Perhaps some Problem Solving Workshops where people are taught
general strategies for solving problems of all different types and where they
are given all sorts of problems to solve during the workshop, from engineering
problems to logic and math problems, to artistic problems, to philisophical
problems, etc. As the various workshops and classes become more popular, the
school will grow, as new faculty and students join.
There's a lot of details I'm leaving out here -- those will have to wait for
my book, but the schools I'm thinking of will be considerably different than
the typical school. They'll be much more focused on mind training and
personal development than most schools are. The emphasis will be on learning
as much as possible and developing a very wide range of knowledge and skills.
There will be a great emphasis on developing great artistic, technological and
scientific skill. I intend for the schools to be places of great scientific
discovery, technological innovation and cultural expression; a very
Renaissance type of school.
