Although the use of fail words is still an uncomfortable term in education, it is,increasingly, a part of the popular lexicon. This is driven in large part by the STEM (science,technology, engineering and mathematics) focus brought about by the Department of Educationand its Race to the Top program in 2009, which prioritized STEM teaching and learning.3 Inaddition, the “maker” movement has grown rapidly, bringing the idea of iteration and trial anderror to the general public.4 However, failure in these contexts is largely attributed to genericdescriptions such as “design,” “iteration

In 2012, the literacy rate in the country was99.58% which is the highest in the Caribbean and one of the highest in the world1. Additionally,primary and secondary education is free for all students and tertiary education is highlysubsidized for all qualified students at local and regional institutions. Despite these efforts tofocus on education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education isnot considered an important area of focus at the primary or secondary level, especiallyTechnology and Engineering.
