Do Not Aim for a Perfect First Try

The stronger your desire to make something well, the more difficult it may be to take the first step. I don't want to make a mistake, I don't want to make something weird, I want to make something right. It's natural to think that way, but it's a waste if you stop doing it. How you use digital tools can change how you learn.

The first version is useful even if it is bad.

Even adults find it difficult to create something complete from scratch. It's easier to think of the first version as a way to get your thoughts out. Even if it's rough or short, once you formulate it, you'll be able to figure out what to fix next.

Those who can fix it are stronger

The power to create something is closer to the power to improve it while fixing it, rather than the power to apply it all at once. Prototypes of games, drafts of texts, rough drafts of images. It's not a one-shot deal, it's something you can improve little by little. Children who can start moving their hands will learn faster.

What you can do today
If you have something to make today, start with the intention of "forming it in 1 minute". You can add beauty later.

At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value starting to create rather than not failing. Once you take the first step, you can proceed by making corrections.
