Using cutting edge technology can be exhilarating for students and give them access to powerful learning experiences.  However, new technology can also be frustrating and a challenge as students learn to use it effectively and become aware of beta glitches.  In this session I will showcase the benefits of some cutting edge technology projects while presenting strategies to promote a DIY mindset  in students.  Developing the right attitude toward challenge and failure is critical to success with new technology and might be the most important educational objective in the classroom.
