“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have

have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that
will work.” Edison

HK students are shy -> don't them in a mental hospital. Allow them to create their own chaos

Need to shift philosophy : Play Einstein; Edison failing; Error = learning; We cannot learn to innovate, we have to try, to do it ; Design thinking ->
Design doing ; Think by prototypin;
Real world problem for motivation and relevance (
== Proposition ==
1. Ownership -> design and built by students
2. Freedom -> 24h access, functional, safe, diverse (welcoming)
3. Innovation (through tinkering) -> uncurated, simple rules (clean tables), label + phone your work.
