Creativity is key

Innovation is the focal point for success in business and education today. We help people access and express their creative ideas, and help teams to be more effective at innovating solutions to problems. We also help educators teach more effectively with less effort by empowering creativity and innovation in the classroom.

 

We lead the fields of inventing to energize learning and kinetic ideation and innovation. We provide highly active workshops in innovation and inventive learning; traveling exhibits for museums in creativity and invention; and inventing curriculum and learning activities.

 

If you want to succeed in today’s creative era, give us a shout.

Creating Whimsy

This one-day workshop blends artistic creativity with technical problem solving to build computer-operated kinetic sculptures. Teachers learn basic digital control/computer programming, application of electric motors, and simple machines. And, they express their inner whimsy in wonderful creations. Totally hands-on and driven by imagination.
