Content

The creativity classes support the working with Ullmans principles, as taught in the mini-project. In the introduction, the focus will be on getting to know each other and on complex problem solving. For the design thinking part in Ullman, the students are offered experiences in brainstorming. Creative problem solving will be offered at the different stages in the mini-project, either by making new connections or by using known methods, like  SCAMPER or TRIZ. The last lecture is meant to discuss the final problems they encounter when solving project-related issues.
