Most thoughtful people seem to agree that school is bad for creativity and that real learning is led by curiosity.

But we still have little idea how curiosity works exactly or how an institution could be turned from an exam factory into something a bit closer to a child's bedroom and computer at home, i.e. to a place of play.
For most of life we need permission to play. Parents allocate 'screen time'. At university one is effectively granted permission to do 'curiosity-led' research by an external grant agency.
So what does institutionalised play look like? Perhaps something like a university. Yet how much could university life be said to be 'following the fun'?
