The search for "aha!" moments | Matt Goldman

In 1988, Matt Goldman co-founded Blue Man Group, an off-Broadway production that became a sensation known for its humor, blue body paint and wild stunts. The show works on the premise that certain conditions can create "aha moments" -- moments of surprise, learning and exuberance -- frequent and intentional rather than random and occasional. Now Goldman is working to apply the lessons learned from Blue Man Group to education, creating Blue School, a school that balances academic mastery, creative thinking and self and social intelligence. "We need to cultivate safe and conducive conditions for new and innovative ideas to evolve and thrive," Goldman says.

u gotta watch this on 1.25 speed...

[@jarrodbrecht7002]

I had to go one step further and did 1.5x speed. But at .5x speed is hilarious, it's like listening to the drunk guy at the bar with his big epiphany

[@TheGuyWhoSkisWithPoi]

1.25 was good, but i quickly moved on to 1.5

[@samudragupt473]

Ur suggestion of 1.25 proved very helpful ! 😊

[@ianaustin4422]

[@OpeLeke]

[@peggyharris3815]

Innovative teachers get punished...shunned and pushed out.

[@mhtinla]

Kindergarten and elementary school teachers are predominantly female. Just saying.

[@mhtinla]

LOL. Didn't they teach you the difference between correlation and causation in school? That makes a better argument.

[@nehaairan1]

Attention, I am a WATER COP! Matt Goldman fails to mention this in every video, but please drink 3 liters of water EVERY DAY. Not only does it taste good, it is super HEALTHY. Thank you very much and stay HYDRATED!

[@mhtinla]

Call me when your water breaks.

[@rickpresley63]

Based on what research?

[@Have_ACookie]

3l is actually too much, it should be 1,5 - 2 litres(Depending on an individual). Overhydration is also a dangerous thing.
