Failure

Students are taught the importance of failure and that not all failures are the same. Students learn that there is a way for them to fail that can lead to learning and even success because it is by failing that we learn most effectively. All too often a string of successes can hide fatal flaws in a system. Students learn that certain types of failure are critical to success and integral to innovation.

While emphasizing the importance of failure, it is critical to also create a psychologically safe environment so students feel safe to fail and learn from their failure. All too often our students are afraid to fail. This program is designed to mitigate those fears and create a safe environment so that not only the kids who are innovative can join in but also those with a fear of failure.
