BrickThink: How to THINK Creatively Using LEGO(R)

Many LEGO® idea books provide construction techniques and step-by-step instructions for other people's models. BrickThink takes a different approach to encouraging creativity by exploring how creative ideas are born. It turns those insights into simple thinking techniques that make it easy for children of all ages to tap into their own imaginations. The important lesson of the book is that you do not need to wait for a lightbulb moment to be a creative builder. In fact, creative thinking is a simple process that can be switched on by anyone, anywhere, anytime!The techniques revealed in this book are not model building techniques. They are thinking techniques for model idea generation. By focusing on thinking application, instead of model replication, the possibilities for coming up with creative ideas are endless!This is a book for anyone who wants to learn how to be more creative. It is a book for parents looking to enhance the educational value of their children's building bricks, a timeless resource for educators who teach design and creativity, and a handbook for those who use creativity to solve problems at work. Included are dozens of examples, pictures, and creative thinking exercises to try at home or in the classroom.
