IMAGINATION: A child’s imagination is a wealth of
ideas and innovations. This contributes to creativity, flexible thinking and
endless inspiration extending into adulthood. It requires time for personal
reflection and free play through tasks that the children are personally
interested in.
INQUISITIVENESS: Creative people are inquisitive
enough to identify problems and then persistently explore them until they come
up with new solutions. Children should be encouraged to be curious and always
ask “why” and “why not” instead of losing that spark as they grow older and
learn that answers are more important questions.
INTERCONNECTIONS: According to neuroscience, innovation
draws on the whole brain. School curriculum should drive students to “join the
dots” and make rich, deep and unexpected links between the different things
they learn. Much innovation happens when unexpected skills collide across
different fields.
