An idea I roll around in my head from time to time, not as an idea to be taken literally (i.e. not as something to implement literally), but as a tool to generate new ideas, is trying to imagine what a Duolingo for math would look like.

So even just being able to "play" requires this initial loading. Once you have loaded things into WM however, you can often play in a fun way, and mini-tasks like in duolingo can work well.
