Season 3, Episode 26 — Before the Answer: The Space Where Learning Begins #hestalks

What if the most important part of learning happens before we know the answer? In HES Talks, Season 3, Episode 26 — Before the Answer: The Space Where Learning Begins, I speak with Manish Jain, Teaching Professor and Principal Coordinator at the Centre for Creative Learning, IIT Gandhinagar. We explore the space where curiosity, doubt, experimentation and discovery live — and why “I don’t know” may be one of the most powerful starting points for learning. And in the age of AI, the question becomes even more urgent. When answers are available in seconds, what matters more: having information, or truly understanding? A conversation about wonder, learning through our hands, the value of uncertainty — and what education needs to protect before the answer arrives.
