Unplugged Activity | Building a Foundation

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.070
In sand sculpture, you gotta know that failure

00:00:09.070 --> 00:00:14.750
is part of the program here. You gotta expect
it, you gotta plan for it, but if you persist

00:00:14.750 --> 00:00:19.039
it's just gonna get nothing but better and more
exciting for you. That's the name of the game

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:24.339
here, just persist and stay with it, and you'll
love it.

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:31.500
This lesson is called "Building a Foundation"

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:35.540
In this lesson, we'll work on
a task that's meant to be really difficult.

00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:42.550
You guys will figure out how to make a structure
at least as tall as one of these cups.

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:49.040
And it's gotta be strong enough to 
hold the weight of a book.

00:00:49.040 --> 00:00:52.200
Nope. Nope. Uhh...nope.

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:56.980
There might be times that our creation doesn't work out.

00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.540
Agh! We lost it but let's
recover.

00:01:01.800 --> 00:01:05.500
I have the perfect idea! I need more gumdrops though.

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:11.080
There might be times that we get
frustrated and want to give up.

00:01:11.179 --> 00:01:17.519
There might be a lot of those moments. (frustrated)
Ugh! I cannot get this! But if we keep on

00:01:17.529 --> 00:01:24.529
trying, giving it our best shot over and over
again, then we're sure to get it before long.

00:01:26.969 --> 00:01:33.969
Success! Persistence is all about hanging
in there when you really want to give up.

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:39.829
If you want to create something new and different,
there's going to be a lot of failures along

00:01:39.829 --> 00:01:46.829
the way. The trick to persistence is choosing
to keep on going and learn from your failures,

00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:52.289
instead of quitting because you're frustrated.
Frustration actually just means there's something

00:01:52.289 --> 00:01:57.539
wonderful around the corner. (I wonder if this will work this time) So don't quit before you get to it.
