Trapped!
• You are trapped in a room with two doors. One leads to certain disaster
  and the other leads to freedom. You don't know which is which. There
  are two robots guarding the doors. They will let you choose one door,
  but upon doing so you must go through it. You can, however, ask one
  robot one question. The problem is that one robot always tells the truth,
  the other always lies, and you don't know which is which. What is the
  question you ask?

   This is an example of a Lateral Thinking Puzzle—a way of forcing you to
   think creatively.
Today
•   What is Creativity to you?
•   Can Creativity be taught?
•   Creativity is a process
•   Lateral thinking question 2
•   Where did your creativity go?
•   How is your creativity limited?
•   How do you believe society squashes creativity

What is Creativity to You?

• How do you define creativity?

• Do you want to be more creative?
Creative Thinking

We need our creative and critical thinking skills to
maximize opportunities and solutions in life. But
many people wonder, is creativity really that
important?
Creativity is a process
• To learn creativity most effectively, one must emphasize a
  process, not the “correctness” or “incorrectness” of an end
  product.

• Creativity involves preparation and persistence.

• You need to feel free to express yourself as desired.

• We need to find our way back to teaching and learning about
  creative processes, tools, and skills as a way of maximizing
  personal talent.

               Question 2

• A woman has incontrovertible proof in court
  that her husband was murdered by her sister.
  The judge declares, "This is the strangest case
  I've ever seen. Though it's a cut-and-dried
  case, this woman cannot be punished.”
Where did
               Your Creativity Go?
• Use it, or lose it. Guess what, if you’ve gone a long
  time without consciously using your creativity, it’s
  harder to tap into. Look at your children – they are
  creative all the time. So what happens to adults?
  Where does our creativity go?
• Creativity gets blocked by fear. Fear of being
  different, of being laughed at, of standing out of
  “Standing for Something.” (Seth Godin)
How is Your Personal Creativity
             Limited?

How do each of the following areas limit your creativity?

    •Habits
    •Rules
    •Perceptions
    •Emotions
    •Culture
    •Gender
How do you believe Society
          Squashes Creativity

List the ways you can think of that society squashes
   creativity, for example:

• It’s uncomfortable to be different
• Fear of…
• Continue this list
lateral Thinking Question 3

• There are six eggs in the basket. Six people
  each take one egg. How can it be that one egg
  is left in the basket?
Creative Listing
Creative listing is a fun and easy way to expand creativity. List:

•   things you can hear right now
•   things that crumble in your hands
•   things that reflect
•   things that sparkle under the evening sky
•   things that live in shadows
•   things that harmonize
•   things you wish had that are blue
•   morning things
•   nonsense things that rhyme with juice
•   things that are awesome about you
Crayon Activity
• Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a
  box of crayons in kindergarten. Being hit with
  the creative bug is just a wee voice telling you,
  “I’d like my crayons back please.”
from Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh MacLeod



• We never know which crayon activity we’re
  going to do, until we do it!
