INTRODUCTION
I
wasn’t
always
an
eager
maker
of
things.I
was
timid
about
it
until
I
became
the
editor
of
the
technology
project
magazine
Make.
Working
there,
I
met
hundreds
of
people
who
made
amazing
things
in
their
spare
time
in
their
garages,
in
their
basements
and
backyards,
and
on
their
kitchen
tables.
As
I
got
to
know
them,
I
discovered
something
that
profoundly
changed
the
way
I
thought
about
creativity.
I
learned
that
these
“alpha
makers”
weren’t
perfect.
They
didn’t
go
into
their
workshops
and
effortlessly
build
beautiful
and
functional
things.
Instead,
they
worked
by
trial
and
error.
They
revised
their
original
designs,
often
drastically.
They
made
plenty
of
mistakes
and
didn’t
get
upset
about
it.
They
expected
to
make
mistakes,
and
they
learned
from
them.
Their
finished
projects
turned
out
better
as
a
result
of
having
made
mistakes.
The
mistakes
pointed
out
the
problems
with
the
project,
pushing
the
maker
to
improve
upon
them.
This was a shock to me. One of the main reasons I didn’t like to make things was because mistakes made me feel like a failure. If things didn’t work out the first time, I often gave up. I know other people feel the same way. A big reason for this crippling mind-set is that we’ve been trained in the classroom to equate mistakes with bad grades. If our educational system teaches us one thing, it’s this: “Be perfect. Avoid mistakes or you will be penalized.”
Alpha makers’ superpower isn’t having awesome making skills, or owning a high-tech workshop filled with the latest 3-D printers and laser cutters. Their superpower is the ability to ignore the “just say no to mistakes” lesson that schools drilled into their heads from kindergarten to grad school.
When I finally learned to embrace mistakes, the world of making opened up to me. I lost my timidity and started making skateboards, musical instruments, wooden puzzles, and electronic toys. My daughters (Jane, ten, and Sarina, sixteen) joined me, and I tried my best to share with them what I learned from the alpha makers’ attitude about mistakes.
When Jane, Sarina, and I made the projects for this book, we often made mistakes—drilling holes in the wrong place, splitting wood, attaching electronic components in the wrong orientation, selecting materials that didn’t work the way we wanted them to, and so on. Sure, it was often frustrating, but these mistakes caused us to think about other possibilities. They sparked our imagination.
Each project in this book is the result of many iterations. It never turned out the way we expected the first time around. The second version of each project often took care of the major problems, but it was still full of annoying bugs. The third version was usually close, but not good enough. It wasn’t until we built the fourth, fifth, or sixth prototype that we felt we had something worth sharing.
Even though we’ve tried our best to provide instructions that will ensure a successful build for you and your daughters, it’s inevitable that you are going to make some mistakes along the way. Consider yourself lucky. These mistakes will give you an opportunity to be creative and resourceful, to improvise, and to come up with something even better than we did. Have fun!
