The Method

The Mind Lab Method is a system for the development and training of thinking abilities and life skills.

At the heart of the Mind Lab Method is the notion that the most effective way to learn is through an immediate and authentic experience that leaves one wanting more. Board game playing is the perfect example of such an experience - it is entertaining, engaging and exciting, and therefore stimulates eager involvement. No less important is the fact that the board game-playing experience provides fertile ground for the training and application of thinking abilities and life skills. Plato best articulated Mind Lab's educational philosophy with his saying:

"Not by force shall the children learn, but through play."
