So this week I decided to be a doer and entered my favorite method of teaching into this IDEO challenge for creative confidence. IDEO is basically a wonderful collaborative creative think tank.
The Challenge:
As young children, we’re all creative. We draw, sing, build, and dream. Yet somewhere along the way – due to the influence of others or our own insecurity – many of us put down these creative instincts. Together with IDEO and our partners – and in celebration of Tom and David Kelley’s new book, Creative Confidence – we’re asking the OpenIDEO community to design fun, inspiring and new ways to help teenagers and young adults around the world preserve and nurture their own creative confidence. At a time when our world faces unprecedented challenges, how might we ensure that young people practice their creative confidence today so that they have a shot at becoming successful leaders tomorrow?
And here’s my teaching solution, the Gamification Game where we make a game of game making. If you have time, would absolutely love it if you could stop by and vote for my entry by hitting the “applaud” button so I can make it into the next round. Please and thanks.
