IFREE's Educational Philosophy
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”
~ Ben Franklin
IFREE supports educational programs that are anchored in the discovery of socio-economic principles gleaned from learning by doing. Through interactive experiments, participants explore both the theory and its practical applications of the visible good afforded by personal social exchange and the invisible good generated by impersonal market exchange. IFREE-supported programs enrich the intellectual development of high school students, undergraduates, and graduate students, as well as post-doctoral fellows seeking careers in academics.
