Innovation rarely follows a straight line.

You have an idea. You try it.

It doesn't work.

You change something.

You try again.

And sometimes the second attempt doesn't work either.

For Pavan Goyal, founder of Blue Blocks Montessori School, these moments aren't interruptions to meaningful learning. They can be some of the most important parts of it.

As an AMI Montessori educator across all four developmental planes and Principal Investigator of Project SBB-1, Pavan has seen what happens when children and adolescents are given opportunities to work towards goals where the outcome isn't already known.
