This New Way of Teaching Changes EVERYTHING! w/ Harvard’s Eric Mazur [Ep. 428]

Join my mailing list to win a real 4 billion year old meteorite! All .edu emails in the USA 🇺🇸 will WIN! Imagine walking into a classroom where the students are the ones driving the discussion. Where curiosity and collaboration have replaced rote memorization. A place where traditional education has been turned on its head, and the power of learning is placed directly in the hands of those who seek it. It’s almost hard to imagine such a classroom after having studied in our current education system, right? But today’s guest on Into the Impossible has turned this unlikely fantasy into a reality by developing an active learning system that engages students rather than just lecturing them. Meet Eric Mazur, physicist, educator, and mastermind behind peer instruction. Eric is a professor of physics and applied physics at Harvard University, and today, he’s here to discuss the past, present, and future of our education system. T
