Learning to Fail
On the Path to Success
LetMeFail is a free innovative program that helps kids practice failure, learn from failure, embrace failure, and promote discussions about failing better.
Who?
Kids in grades 3–8.
Why?
In a society obsessed with winning and success, many kids today fear failure. Yet, history’s greatest accomplishments were built on overcoming failure.
By embracing and practicing failure through LetMeFail, we empower the next generation to become future leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs.
How?
Educators and parents can choose from our LetMeFail Guidebook, Classroom Activities, and Author Videos to create a Failure Day in the classroom or at home. Some educators prefer to spread these activities over several days, weeks, and even months.
