What is the Stimulating Creativity trend?
Stimulating Creativity: Creativity is something we all strive for, whether individually or part of a corporation. While many brands and consumers believe that creativity and imagination are characteristics of certain individuals, rather than traits possessed by all, there is now an increasing number of innovations that aim to push and encourage creativity in the workplace, classroom and the home. Ranging from apps that enhance creativity to schools with offbeat design concepts, these imagination-promoting innovations point to the idea that creativity is something that just needs to be harnessed, not learned.
