Curiosity, innovation, DIFFERENTIATION :)
A place for 11-18 year olds to learn innovation process online and IRL
Innovation is a vital skill to navigate our fast-changing world. As we move into the fifth industrial revolution it's no longer enough to just know. We need to know how to use the incredible information at our fingertips in order to dream bigger, dream better than ever before. So then, the question becomes how do we "do" innovation? Innovation is a skill and can be taught, and then applied. The more a skill is used, the better we become at it just like swimming or football or learning an sntrument the key is regular practice. Innovation Soc enrichment programs and workshops are designed to teach young people how to "do" innovation. We break innovation down into divergent and convergent steps and show young people how to get "unstuck" by switching gears between these two modes of creative thinking. Problem solving skills, communication skills and collaboration skills are all stretched and strengthened in a challenging and fun way.

Walk the talk of innovation & build your creativity quotient
Learning innovation process is not just a future skill, it's a now skill
Through learning repeatable tools and techniques, students learn six ways to operate in the world. They learn to be opportunity focused when problem solving, to be action-oriented in finding solutions, to develop mental resilience through the unattached exploration of varied possiblilities, to switch between abstract and concrete thinking, to iterate and capture feedback constructively and to appreciate that courage, trying new ways, leads to competence.
TRY "How Might We ... " The superpower OF the innovation industry
"How Might We" or "I Wish" is a brilliant way to frame a question in the face of obstacles. Try re-stating a problem you face in your life now using these powerful words. The more you practice, the better you get at finding fresh and unchartered waters.
in A debate, an argument has priority. in conversation it is the person that comes first
Everyday chat may be cheerful, polite, informative, funny or interesting but it can often lack a crucial ingredient. Leo Tolstoy in the Emperor's Three Questions suggests this ingredient is our full attention in the now. Conversations that bring aliveness to the everyday are closely aligned to a work of art, with more than one creator. Explore :)
