Craetivity SkillsBuilder Skills

Creativity:

Creativity is the complement to Problem Solving, and is about generating innovations or ideas which can then be honed through the problem-solving process. The first few steps (0 – 5) focus on the individual’s confidence in imagining different situations and sharing their ideas. SkillsBuilder intermediate steps (6 – 10) focus on generating ideas – using a clear brief, making improvements to something that already exists and combining concepts.

Individuals then apply creativity in the context of their work and their wider life. They can build off this to develop ideas using tools like mind mapping, questioning, and considering different perspectives. We hope to help students to achieve this by encouraging innovative thinking through project-based tasks and activities.
