hands-on education
Learning by doing
Hands-on education is learning through direct experience rather than lectures or reading—building circuits, dissecting frogs, running experiments.
The approach assumes that doing something teaches it better than hearing about it.
The program emphasizes hands-on education, with students spending half their time in workshops.
