Creative thinking (CT) and problem-solving (CPS) can be immensely helpful in life, yet it is an area where few people have likely been trained. Just how did that inventive idea come to life? Is CT only about ideas that suddenly pop into mind? This interactive course focuses on definitions of creative thinking, types of thinking, and CT/CPS benefits before covering obstacles that stymie us. Various ways to become better creative thinkers/problem-solvers will be discussed and practiced. The class will use several exercises, videos, and small-group activities.
