DescOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR STUDENTS' INNATE CREATIVITY AND CURIOSITY, ELIMINATE THE FEAR OF FAILURE, AND GIVE THEM THE SKILLS NEEDED TO CREATIVELY SOLVE PROBLEMS. WHEN WE GIVE OUR STUDENTS THESE TOOLS, THEY CAN CREATE CHOICES, IDEAS, AND SOLUTIONS FOR THEMSELVES. THIS LEARNING PROCESS PRODUCES CONFIDENCE, SELF-SUFFICIENCY, AND MAKES NATURAL CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING EXCITING. TEACHERS LEAD STUDENTS THROUGH ENGAGING ACTIVITIES AND LESSONS TO HELP THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING PROCESS. PROGRAM MODULES CAN BE ADAPTED FOR USE IN DAILY AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS OR SUMMER CAMP SETTINGS. EXPERIENCES RANGE FROM A "TASTE" TO A FULL IMMERSION IN CURIOSITY AND CREATIVE THINKING.Desc
