Description

This workshop presents a new card game inspired by award-winning TBLT course, Widgets Inc. The game can be used in or out of class as a speaking warm-up, to engage creative thinking, or for project brainstorming. Students combine prompt cards to create new product ideas, which are then pitched and chosen based on originality, functionality, and other criteria. Participants get a free prototype to try in their classes. Busy? Drop in and out, no problem.

This presentation is sponsored by Atama-ii Books.
