Synopsis for Go Fail!: Experimentation, differentiation and other paths to innovation.

While the thought of "failing" is scary to most students, it is in fact extremely liberating. How can we foster a tolerance for failure - not in the sense of failing a class, but more so in terms of taking risks and experimenting. If students are failing, it means they are pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

Further, how does such a culture for experimentation and innovation co-exist with the industry's need for very specific types of students. Does academia's reliance on guidance from industry limit its ability to produce the students the industry needs (ie, risk takers and innovators tolerant to failure) versus what they say they want?
