Creativity - The Future of Education and Learning. Unleash your creativity and watch your students excel. You can teach less and be more effective in helping your students learn by applying the principles of Creative Learning.™ Teaching should focus on student learning, not on forcing rote memorization of facts. Students in the 21st century must be able to apply their learning to solve problems in the business, civic, and academic worlds, and they need to learn in a creative,
problem-solving atmosphere to prepare them. Teaching creatively establishes classroom environments in which creative thinking, research, and learning flourish.

Inventing to Learn - Students discover the mandated science content while they engage in inquiry in a quest to invent toys. They work in small teams to solve problems, collect data, and report results. Students are actively engaged from the first minute and are totally motivated to perfect their inventions.
