Today we watched a TED talk of an 18 year old inventor who discussed her story and why she believes that having less makes you more creative. She was given very few toys as a child and instead was given a hot glue gun. Out of necessity she had to create her own toys. She also discussed how following the latest craze and immersing yourself in technology took time away from being creative.
We had some great discussion around this, especially in relation to technology. Students shared their stories of being creative when they were in a situation of having 'less'. We also discussed boredom and if it can be something that leads to creativity. Here is the TED talk.
