Share something you've done or created that's "failed"

Project Description

The gist of this class is that the stigma around "failure" as a terrible thing is out of sync with understanding creativity and innovation. For your project, share something of yours that's "failed" and 3-5 sentences on what you learned from the failure – what was the unintended learning outcome that surprised you?

Project Specs

Share your project in any medium you'd like – sketched, filmed, written, photographed, screenshot.

Examples

This could be a failed project at work, a relationship that didn't work out, that time you tried a new recipe for dinner and it went wrong. No matter the size or scale, there's always something you can learn from.

Check out my own example project for this class. It only took me 5 minutes to put this together, it doesn't take long :)

Additional Resources

Our inspiration for the project of this class came from Tina Seelig. Learn more in this Fast Company article about how she uses the assignment with her students.
