All participants add their ideas, inspired by virtual events held around the world by local organizers in each city. The city with the most ideas will receive the award for the most creative city.
Teachers - more flexibility & fun teaching
Students - more socialization, group problem solving, etc.
Dedicate a certain time, everyday, where kids can work collectively/groups or individually to play/problem solve - concentrating on creating.
Example:
Theme - engineering
Objective - build a scale bridge to support weight
Materials - toothpicks, glue, legos, straws, clips, etc.
Activity - students (with little specific instruction) build a bridge, taking very different approaches
Not too much guidance, freedom to decide on the broader and finer points, collaboration and/or idea sharing & seeing very different approaches
