Creativity sometimes starts with giving kids reasonable choices as they make design decisions

It took someone with imagination, to figure out a Segway, Netflix and Uber. The interesting thing is that all the great poets, painters, Nobel laureates and engineers, just think about the world differently. The best scientists and engineers are not the ones who have all the knowledge, but the ones that can connect that knowledge, with creative thinking, to real world issues.

A problem presents itself such as "we can't possibly travel faster than in a car" , and someone with imagination says "Why Not". What's funny, is this same principle is exactly how the mind of a child works. Kids don't know the rules and as a result, they have far greater ability to outperform in problem solving, creativity, and innovation than we do as adults, precisely because adults use their expansive knowledge to solve the problem, rather than access there even more expansive Imagination and Creativity.
