i really enjoyed the movie. The way they had to present their project at the end was really good. I love different concepts to present students education. I think its a great way to get out of standardized western education and start to decolonize the systems. when we decolonize our education systems and give students ways of learning that benefit them and their abilities the best instead of trying to shove them all into the same box, that is when we will see the most growth and achievements for our students.
