Make · Week 2 — Building and Failing Forward

Wildlings begin constructing their build and treat each failure as useful data. The question is 'What did that failure just teach me?'

hand tools, build materials, build journal

Wildlings work hands-on with real tools to begin constructing their project. Coaches check in with a 'what's working, what's not' protocol rather than giving answers. A mid-week share-out lets Wildlings show a failed attempt and what they learned from it. Safety and tool-care routines are reinforced throughout. Journaling captures each day's build progress and problems encountered.

Frame failure explicitly as a hypothesis being tested, per the circle's thinking skill.
