Hands-on Making: How might we empower young people to exercise their creative confidence by getting active, building to think and iterating (building on your thinking) along the way?

Concept Description (Required):

In this challenge, we want to create ideas with young people, not for them. Outline how you’re planning to involve young people or other end-users (parents, teachers, etc) in designing, iterating or testing your idea during the Ideas phase. Be sure to report back throughout the Ideas phase with updates, too!

How might you envision your idea spreading across geographies or cultures so that it inspires young people around the world to cultivate their creative confidence?

What skills, input or guidance would you like to receive from the OpenIDEO community to help you build out or refine your idea further? Hint: this could be graphic design support, prototyping advice, financial/cost guidance – whatever you think you need to make your idea stronger and better poised for impact. And if you’ve got skills that might further someone else’s idea – reach out to them via the comments section.

What if . . .

We could plant more things and learn about them more when we actually experience them?

What if we could move all school outside?

We could be more active and not just sit down?

Each group could be in their own room so everyone was able to speak up and not discouraged to say ideas?

Each class could have a class pet?

Some could speak up for themselves and have others ask if they have ideas?

What if we could actually experience what we learn about more?

We could have no homework?

We could all get into groups and make the most abstract thing we could do?

Before others spoke, the people who are discouraged could speak first?

We could have an art project where you could do whatever you want because then you can see what people are good at about art?

We could have a longer recess?

We could all make up our own projects and be as creative as we can?

What if we could have a brainstorming time span to plan what we will write first?
