Description
What do Picasso, Einstein, Gehry, and Tesla have in common? Spatial and creative abilities! Both abilities are needed for innovation, which requires both originality and the need to visualize something that does not yet exist. A sculpture, a film, an artificial lumbar disc, and a robotic submarine are all examples of products that required both abilities to innovate. Both abilities are improvable in schools. The session begins with a brief overview of the research on both abilities and ends with fun activities to stretch both abilities that you can use in your classroom tomorrow to stretch your students.
