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 . . .

Enter your group ideas here.

I think that if there were more creative classes in other schools like art and woodshop, it would expand peoples creative confidence.

I think that if one day everyone was encouraged to be more creative and more people knew about creative confidence then it would of course expand people’s creativity and it would make them much happier and help them succeed. 

 I think that if more people encouraged and gave kids more confidence then maybe kids will have more confidence for their creative ideas. Also kind of like the very top idea, maybe it would help kids for their creative ideas if they gave them  more time to work because then they would have more time to think deeper into their ideas and think more further for their ideas. 

 

I think that it would also be cool if children could design the school playgrounds.

In other schools there should time like middle school meetings, where you can share your creative ideas.

 

If  kids see other people being creative and original than they might 

want to start their own way of creativity.

 

I agree with the idea above this text. Also adding on to the text above this- if kids see more creative projects or go on more felid trips to get more ideas or see more interesting things can expand their creativity.
