Explosión mental del pensamiento crítico

Do you enjoy solving puzzles and problems? Would you like to become better at using critical thinking skills to help you solve more challenging problems? If you answered yes to either of these questions, this is the perfect class for you! Here at Wild and Unstructured Learning we believe that the skill of critical thinking is an important life skill. It is one that needs to be explicitly taught. Critical thinking allows use to think beyond the obvious. It is is a tool that aids us in making informed, rational decisions. A child with a critical thinking mindset is able to question, interlink information and ideas, make rational choices, and, most importantly, justify their own decisions. In this class, we are going to exercise our brains and learn different ways to think critically about various different problems. Your mind will explore with critical thinking knowledge after taking this class with us!
