Reflections:

Jacob: There isn’t enough content that is in the category of, “Here’s a problem for you, go solve it,” to learn.

Jamey: Identifying things (i.e. hobbies) that get other people excited and motivated to learn.

Rein: Often the best way to learn something is to teach it, and often the best thing for a teacher to do is get out of the way and find ways to support the learners.

Brian: The need for more complex problems to learn things.
