Life-Skills
...Students become cognitively aware of their life
skills while doing activities:
From our experiences in business & education, we
have created a curriculum that sifted out the manual
part of work and created thinking employees with unique
mindset thinking and life-skills to be productive in
your organization. These are the people that AI will be
difficult to replace.

Learning from failure
This reminds me of IDEO’s philosophy of

end”. |
Not success, dissatisfaction
|
Rapid prototyping solutions and seeing what
works....Dyson argues that there is more we can learn
from failures than from successes. Failure
is a dress rehearsal for success. I am
always struck by James Dyson’s claim that he
built 5,127 prototypes before he got it
right. |
