This document provides a summary of an educational theory presentation given at Hacker School in 2014. The presentation covered five main ideas: 1. Learning is designable like code and can be approached in a test-driven manner. 2. Understanding individual learning styles is important for effective learning. 3. Learning does not occur alone but within communities, with more experienced members providing guidance and support. 4. Mindset and motivation are key factors for mastery, and concepts like growth mindset and self-efficacy are important. 5. Students should embrace challenges and have courage in their learning.
