JFK Rice Stadium Moon Speech
We choose to go to the
moon in this decade
and do the other things,
not because they are
easy, but because they
are hard, because that
goal will serve to
organize and measure
the best of our energies
and skills, because that
challenge is one that
we are willing to
accept, one we are
unwilling to postpone,
and one which we
intend to win, and the

creating content may be
more important to
learning than the act of
merely consuming it

The University of Canterbury team, led by Christoph
Bartneck of the university's Human Interface Technology
Lab, wanted to explore one way Lego might be
influencing children emotional through play. With an
average of 75 Lego blocks per human on Earth it makes
sense to see what kinds of emotions Lego is presenting
to children.

Bartneck looked at 3,655 Lego figures manufactured
between 1975 and 2010, finding there were 628
different unique faces that would form the dataset.
These faces were categorised according to which of six
emotions they seemed to represent -- anger, disgust,
fear, happiness, sadness or surprise -- and how intense
that emotion appeared to be.

How to learn creativity
Alter your perspective
Look at the problem from a different
angle. If you tend to use the same
ways of working, mix things up.
Instead of focusing on the data before
you, look at what is not there
Allow for serendipity
Read books, articles and search the
net on subjects not immediately
linked to the project, but that interest
you. Pay attention to small, random
events; they can spark a new,
creative direction.

Think both macro and micro
Keep your mind flowing between
these two poles: your big vision and
the details that bring it to life. Like an
alternating current, creative ideas are
sparked by the constant interaction of
these two ways of thinking.
Think visually
Long before language, humans
thought in images. Charles Darwin,
for example, imagined evolution as a
tree of life, some species leading to
new branches and this gave him a
refreshing new perspective.

It is easier to enhance creativity by changing conditions
in the environment than by trying to make people think
more creatively.
…….
A genuinely creative accomplishment is almost never the
result of a sudden insight, a light bulb flashing on in the
dark, but comes after years of hard work
…….
Without creativity it would be difficult indeed to
distinguish humans from apes.
