Creativity is just connecting things.

When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and

SYNTHESIZE new things.

- Steve Jobs, 1995

Can the question be answered by

making observations,

collecting data,

making measurements,

and/or changing variables?

Can the question be

narrowed and focused enough to look at a SINGLE variable?

We need students to get more DEEPLY INTERESTED in things,

more INVOLVED in them, more ENGAGED in wanting to know,

to have projects that they can get EXCITED about and work on
