Activities to pick your brain - Grand Bazaar

Curiosity is at its best when our brain is faced with a challenging task, e.g. solving a non-trivial problem or puzzle or creating something new. Challenges engage creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, and create a fun learning environment. A series of activities will be presented at distinct tables, demonstrating how to cultivate the “organic food” that will stimulate curiosity: challenging activities that engage learners and tease the brain. Then session also encourages creative exploration with specific engagement techniques. Participants will be served hands-on open-ended learning, guided only by a few instructions that demonstrate best practices in learning science. At the conclusion of the session, attendees will gauge their “virtual crops”.
