<p>On New Year’s Eve Day, we baked sweet rolls with friends. I was
lead <a href="http://www.pbs.org/food/shows/great-british-baking-show/">baker</a>
because I’d made them several times before. It quickly became obvious
that, although I had more experience with this recipe, I did not have
more skill. My dough kept sticking, and my rolls all turned out
different sizes. We laughed over spilled flour, and the rolls were
delicious.</p>
<p>When the 3D printer arrived at SWON, it came with the wrong
instruction booklet. You know things have gone south when the printer
starts spooling strands of melted plastic in mid-air. We laughed, found
correct instructions online, and started again. Now you could play chess
with pieces we printed.</p>
<p>That’s how learning goes. It’s messy, and it helps if you can
laugh. It doesn’t always look productive or efficient, and sometimes a
start leads to a dead end. But learning is also a place we can meet–our
patrons, and each other–on common ground. </p>
<p>When we learn alongside other people, we give them a gift. We show
that we don’t expect them to know all this already or to learn it
perfectly after being shown once. At school, on the job, learning
doesn’t always look like that. When we set ground rules that support
this kind of learning, it gives us the chance to learn, too. That’s a
resolution worth making for 2015.</p>
