Brainstorm Creativity Not Inactivity
Date - 21 August 2020, Friday
INTRODUCTION
Think Lab is a place where we try to expand our vision and force our minds to think beyond what we already know. It is lead by Hemanshi ma'am and Pranay sir. We started our day with the definition of creativity:
"The ability to perceive the world in new ways, making, and connections."
For starters, they asked us to DEFINE the given figure in any way possible.
I was surprised to see that a simple pentagon could be described in more than 20 ways.
WARM-UP ACTIVITY
We were divided into groups of 5 and allotted a different shape each. My teammates were: Nanki, Navya, Nikita, and Angel. This activity's main motive was to get familiar with the concept of Think Lab and also to get to know each other. (where we did a great job😄)
We tried to divide our work, but it didn't work out well and, it was not as easy as it looks.
MAIN ACTIVITY
We continued with the same group and learning from mistakes, organized ourselves, and gave ONE category to ONE person. We had to describe the shape/letter based on its -
geometry
object association
paper cutting/folding
I was assigned the GEOMETRY and some part of the drawing. Navya and Nanki were concentrating on OBJECT ASSOCIATION whereas Nikita was thinking on the PAPER FOLDING/CUTTING. We all were sending our work to Angel as she was handling the slides.
REFLECTION
ACHIEVEMENTS - Got to know that we can break one object into smaller pieces. Associating figures in other objects.
STRUGGLE - Internet connectivity slowed us down, but we managed to complete our task on time.
ACTION - We can work on time management to improve the quality of our work.
