Everyone is born Curious!

Thinking of starting at the beginning for the intro ... _right_ at the beginning. 👶

_Everyone_ is _born_
with innate curiosity, creativity and perseverance.
Babies are voraciously curious about the world,
and they learn by _constantly experimenting_.

Starting at the age of 3-7 months,
babies start mouthing objects
to discover the taste and texture.

This oral exploration
is a key developmental stage
that _all_ infants go through.
Babies aren't born _knowing_
that sand doesn't taste very good.
They _discover_ it by experimenting!

At some point the curiosity/creativity
is reprimanded out of them
because they are being "too messy"
or simply they are not given enough encouragement

@dwyl we aim to give everyone an opportunity
to re-discover their inner child-like curiosity and creativity.
If you are still thinking you aren't creative -
because your creative spark
was beaten out of you by a school system
that rewards conformity
and "attainment" on standardised tests -
we _invite_ you let go of the boring past
and embrace your creative future!
