“Projects” are the “doing” part of Forever Learning. They begin to explore an interest or curiosity.
Projects start from a problem and result in a blog post article, a personal experiment, or a software product to solve that problem. For example, the creation of this blog was a project driven by the problem of not having an outlet for “forever learning” outside of schooling.
Doing a project is a rewarding work of labour that comes with growth in skills and learnings. Below, is the scratchpad of learnings from these projects.
