The thing that strikes me most about this video is the pure creativity that is Caine's arcade. For example, for 1 dollar you can get 4 plays, yet 2 dollars is 500 plays. I doubt there is a precise reason for why it is that way, but touches like that show the authentic creativity of a venture like Caine's arcade. I think his passion for creating comes through in the video and in his continual creation and additions to his arcade. All of his work has been done on his own time and motivation, without any kind of a grade on the line. He is learning by doing something he is interested in.
I think this video is in accord with many of the talks and writings of current theorists in education, Many of these argue we have a lot to learn by looking at how people learn new things naturally, in everyday life, when we are not in school. Caine's arcade is a perfect demonstration of how people learn and create when they don't even necessarily think they are learning. Following that drive to create is one of the first steps in this process.
