Visionary game designer and creator of The Sims
Will Wright is a pioneering video game designer and co-founder of Maxis, best known for creating the iconic simulation games SimCity, The Sims, and Spore. His work redefined the possibilities of interactive storytelling and player-driven design.
A quote from Will Wright about their education:
"Montessori taught me the joy of discovery… It showed you can become interested in pretty complex theories, like Pythagorean theory, say, by playing with blocks. It's all about learning on your terms, rather than a teacher explaining stuff to you. SimCity comes right out of Montessori — if you give people this model for building cities, they will abstract from it principles of urban design."
Will Wright attended a Montessori school in the UK, where his early freedom to explore and tinker laid the foundation for his creative design philosophy.
