Your task: Innovate around the objects you see on the cards

4 Different Ways to Innovate:

1. Improve: Make it better – Add or change one or more elements on the card to improve the object

2. Transform: Use the object or idea on the card for a different purpose

3. Create 2: Take any numer of elements from each card and use these to create a new object or idea

4. Disrupt: Look at the picture, grasp what the purpose is and come up with a completely different way to achieve the same purpose

Create 2: Example

Form groups of 4 persons

Each group needs a judge
