Cracking the Creativity Code: Discovering Ideas

Technion examines how ideas can be discovered and developed by changing the way a problem is viewed. Moving between a broad perspective and a closer inspection connects with practical creativity and self-reinvention. It suits learners who want to investigate a familiar challenge from more than one position before choosing a direction.

What you will learn

• Explore how creative ideas are discovered.
• Change perspective by examining different scales.
• Apply creativity methods to a practical challenge.

Who this suits

Learners interested in idea discovery and creative approaches to entrepreneurship or everyday problems.

Before you enroll

Treat a method as a way to explore a problem, then examine whether its ideas address the actual constraints. Generating many suggestions is different from selecting a useful one. Use feedback, small experiments and documented reasoning to improve an idea before investing in its implementation.
