“Play is the highest form of research” Einstein

Fail = Learn ≠ Fail

“I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that

Ownership | Freedom | Innovation (through tinkering)

== Issues and opportunities ==HK students are spoon-fed -> give them less time, less resources, less money. Creating the resources and being creative is the way.HK students are shy -> don't them in a mental hospital. Allow them to create their own chaosChina innovation sceneWhat is the future of HK? Why am I here?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 students2. Freedom -> 24h access, functional, safe, diverse (welcoming)3. Innovation (through tinkering) -> uncurated, simple rules (clean tables), label + phone your work.Formats of intervention
