In this video Mitchel Resnick, LEGO Papert Professor of Learning Research at the MIT Media Lab, addresses why creativity matters and what we can learn from kindergartens to close the gap between the desire for creativity and education systems’ ability to develop and nurture this pivotal skill.

Mitchel Resnick is part of the Creating Creators report, which convenes and presents expert opinions from right across the educational spectrum—academics, assessors, enablers, governments, learners and teachers—on the importance of creativity in education systems.
