Making maths and science fun is all the rage in education today. But is fun the answer?
Or have we confused temporary entertainment with true engagement and deep learning?
“Education should be fun,” they say.
But fun is a leisure activity, not a learning strategy.

Flashy apps, gimmicky tools, party games, and catchy slogans have replaced the essence of true learning.
But here’s the problem: fun is fleeting.
When the glitter fades, what remains?
