How we turned our life into an experiment?

We are often taught in school to study for the grade, to achieve something predetermined, or to compete with others.
The focus is rarely on personal exploration or experimentation.
Every subject, syllabus, and assessment is already laid out for us, leaving little room to truly experience learning in a way that encourages trying, failing, or even seeing whether we enjoy something.
From a young age, we accept what is presented — the curriculum, the methods, and the rigid assessments that define our educational journey.
But why can’t we treat learning like an experiment? Why not let it be more fluid and adaptable, tailored to our evolving interests?
Leaving Traditional School: A Journey into the Unknown
When we left traditional schooling in 2020, we didn’t know how our lives would take shape.
There was no pre-written path to follow, no fixed curriculum to guide us. Instead, we embarked on a journey of curiosity, driven by our own interests.
Now, we have the freedom to experiment with both learning and living — and that has made all the difference.
The Power of Experiments
The essence of our learning is now built on exploration and experimentation.
We’ve made space for trials and errors, not just in academic subjects, but in all aspects of life.
This journey has opened doors to new opportunities and allowed us to experiment with:
These experiments push us to break barriers and make learning limitless.
There’s no fear of failure because everything is part of the growth process.
Helping Adi Pursue His Passions
A big part of this journey involves helping my son, Adi, pursue his interests.

Whether it’s creating something through coding, integrating AI into his projects, or experimenting with filmmaking and editing, I’m always by his side, supporting him in what he loves to do.
Together, we explore new ways of learning — through building apps, creating content, travelling, or discovering new technologies.
He’s a natural creator, and I’m proud to nurture that spark in him.
Adi’s explorations aren’t just limited to traditional academic projects; we experiment with different mediums.
From filmmaking and storytelling to coding and AI integration, he gets the freedom to dive deep into what excites him.
He’s not just learning; he’s creating, and that’s the beauty of this journey.
The Creator Program: Mentorship for 8–15-Year-Olds
As part of this journey, we’ve started a Creator Program aimed at young self-learners between 8 and 15 years old.
These children, like my son, are eager to explore their passions, but they need guidance — not just traditional education but mentorship that helps them navigate their own unique paths.
This program is designed to give them that space to experiment with coding, creating, and problem-solving, all while having the support of mentors who understand the beauty of self-directed learning. (DM if you are interested)
Learning Without Limits
In the end, education doesn’t have to be confined to a classroom or a syllabus.
It can be a living, breathing process, one that adapts and grows with you.
When we embrace learning as an experiment, we free ourselves from the fear of failure and allow ourselves to discover who we truly are.
Why not let learning be limitless?
Why not treat it as an experiment that evolves over time, driven by curiosity and passion?
That's the journey we’re on, and it’s a path that has opened more doors than any traditional education ever could.
