ABSTRACT

Google may be the most famous company to have 20% Time, but many other organizations and businesses have used this “inquiry concept” to their advantage. This chapter takes a look at how working in the real world is very similar to this type of project in school. Full of examples and quotes from leaders in business, it shows how a typical student’s path in education does not always prepare them to work in the real world. The use of 20% learning time can change that as it provides a structure for students to develop grit and perseverance.
