About the pilot

Sculpting as Cognitive Resistance Training

About The Hercules Protocol Classroom Pilot: a mediator-facilitated, clay-based observation programme documented through a structured digital companion.

A mediator-only companion

Learners do not use this application. The sculpting activity takes place in the room, with the official printed Hercules Protocol™ materials. The application exists to guide the mediator, record the process, protect the workflow and organize the data.
