Why First Principles Thinking?

First Principles Thinking is a problem-solving approach that breaks down complex problems into their most basic, simplest elements.

1

Start with the basics, build up logically

Every complex topic is broken down into its fundamental components, then rebuilt step by step.

2

Question assumptions, think independently

Students learn to challenge conventional wisdom and develop their own reasoning.

3

Connect, Create, Test, Iterate - relentlessly

Connect concepts across disciplines to generate solutions, test against real-world applications.

"This is the same method used by Einstein, Elon Musk, and many of the world's greatest minds for innovation."
