| Description | Creative and Inventive Thinking explores methods to encourage creative, "out of the box" thinking. We will do "instant challenge" creative projects each meeting where we often build something new from everyday objects, study some inventors, look at the patent process, learn to look at things in new ways, learn new ways to brain storm and expand our thinking. |
