Think Boldly: Critical Thinking

“Creativity – it means to dig deeper, to watch better, to dive into the depths, to pass through walls, to light the sun, to build a castle in the sand, to welcome the future.” —Paul Torrance 

An ordinary spoon and an extraordinary SpaceX rockets: what do they have in common? They were all invented once. During our lessons, we will learn how to think like an inventor, how to imagine the impossible, and even how to solve the mysteries of nature. 

Every lesson we will also encounter a riddle: try this, for instance. In the 1920s in Britain people suddenly stopped clapping for the plays and performances. Why was that?

During these 5 introductory lessons we will:
Solve riddles and brainteasers
Come up with solutions to open-ended problems
Invent and imagine
Play creative games

Creative and critical thinking are vitally important: not only these are skills that our children would need in their careers and future, but a creative mindset also improves content learning, increases motivation, and leads to deeper learning. Join us for “Think Boldly” which will stimulate your child’s mind in all these critical areas.
