We meet weekly.Members suggest ideas.

Best idea gets ripped apart.

If the idea survives, we do it.

How do we do it?

Draw! Tinker! Simulate! Print! Learn.

Minimise the time to try things.Maximise the rate of learning.

So what is our approach?

1. Find a challenge that is worth your

time solving.

«What's the best thing you could be working on, and why aren't you?»

2. Set a visible, touchable, feelable

goal and tell your team.

And set a moon-shot goal.

Don’t brag about it.

3. Work towards that goal as lean as

you can.

4. Did you achieve the goal set?

Learn, fix, repeat.

5. Keep up the momentum!

As time goes to infinity: Moon-shot goal gets closer!
