Students have fun on our unicycles. But that's not the full story.
When a child first sees a unicycle, they're likely to think "that looks impossible." At first, it feels impossible. But then it gets easier. Before long, they're hopping on and off as if they were born on a wheel.
They've not only learned to ride a unicycle. They've also learned that even if something at first looked impossible, it's not. They can learn it. By themselves, perhaps with a little help from their friends. That is not only an important lesson; it is the opposite of what most schools around the world teach.
