DESCRIPTION
How do we take user needs and real-world problems and come up with something new? How can we be innovative all the time. As children, we played in order to learn about the world around us and press against our growing boundaries. We took wild journeys of fantasy where every object in front of us had possibilities. This concept of child-eyes essentially means abandoning our ingrained assumptions about the world around us and seeing something with a sense of innocence. This talk will cover the concept of play as a cognitive developer, examine case studies where play and imagination contributed to amazing product design, and give some ideas as to how we can continue to do this with our team and on our own everyday to help strengthen our "play" muscles

DON’T GROW UP,
IT’S A TRAP
Don’t be a bully
Make thoughts,
don’t receive them
Take time to go down
rabbit Holes
Anything’s Possible
