Abstract:

Lab-grown meat, self-driving cars, and Siri: Groundbreaking inventions have been produced by innovative, divergent thinkers. However, does the modern classroom encourage these skill sets? My project will examine the inclusion of curricular opportunities for students to build and exercise qualities such as creativity and leadership.
