What is “messing up”? Is it adversity? A setback? Perhaps even a failure? People often go out of their way to avoid these negative labels of things going south. Yet failing is a quintessential and unavoidable stage of life.
Can “messing up” be an act of courage? Of experimentation? Perhaps even the key to success?
To dare to try is to accept the possibility of messing up. It means stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing trial and error, and discovering new possibilities through experience. When we reframe “messing up” as part of growth, we begin to see that every stumble is also a step forward.
This year’s theme is how do we get back on the horse after “messing up”, rebound and set sail again. With each rebound, we are training and strengthening our tenacity, allowing us to bounce further and higher.
The theme for this year’s PMQ Seed is “Dare to Try ”. Students are invited to experiment boldly in a safe and secure environment, experience the thrill of “messing up” and discover the growth and fun in failures. AI will be used as an auxiliary tool to implement creative ideas, helping participants to turn concepts into specifics.
PMQ Seed is a project initiated by PMQ and supported by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as Lead Sponsor.
. This year, we continue to partner with local creative design teams, presenting a series of exciting creative events such as “Creative Training Class”, “Train the Trainer Workshops” and “Seed Online”. Children aged 8-14, adolescents, educators, and parents are welcome to join us.
Messing up isn’t something to fear — it’s how we learn to dare.
Covering areas including the application of design thinking, artificial intelligence and education, the Workshop aimed to encourage participants to use relevant knowledge to promote creative education in a daily classroom setting.
