Google 20% time is an idea, started by Google, where employees are allowed to dedicate 20% of their time to a personal project. This gives them something to work on that they're passionate about, and may even contribute to a larger breakthrough.
Some people want to use this idea for schools as well, which I think is a brilliant idea. Instead of memorizing and regurgitating information that they will promptly forget, students have a chance to work on something meaningful. They learn how to plan, outline, problem solve, and carry out a project, skills that they sorely need in the real world.
