That’s a great way of putting it.
I've heard a lot of people say over the years that it doesn't matter what system you use as long as the students are inspired... I'll argue that there's really only one way to inspire students....
The way I see it, if the students aren't doing anything they're probably bored. If they are bored, they probably aren’t very inspired.
As a mentor I only do what is necessary to make sure all the students are actively involved.
Whenever an adult does something they are denying a student the opportunity to do that same thing. The same goes for seniors. Let the freshmen and sophomores make the parts. If they mess up. Have them remake them.
Learning is a process of trial and error. If your team is 100% successful, I think you are doing something wrong.
