"Innovation is hard to teach because it’s inherently messy, unpredictable, and team-oriented – which makes success hard to measure in a quantifiable way. This mindset is at odds with the traditional constructs of education, where students are taught to think and act in accordance with existing guides, chase down right answers, and are measured and ranked by quantifiable evaluation metrics.

"Innovating requires nearly the opposite mentality. In order to innovate, it is necessary to abandon judgment, open oneself to a seemingly endless field of possibilities, and then try those possibilities again and again, iterating and (hopefully) failing enough times to know that you’re onto something. The fact that there is no single 'right answer' in innovation can be frustrating at first – but, it can also be incredibly freeing and fun for students, especially creative thinkers yearning to play." - Lisa Kay Solomon
