Question Everything

What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  Pick any object and ask 20 questions about it. 'Why is it this shape? Who designed it? What if it were round? Could it be smaller?' Questions are the seeds of creative ideas. Here's how to do it: 1. Look carefully at the problem. What do you see? 2. Think about what you already know. Does this remind you of something? 3. Try an answer! It's totally okay to be wrong โ€” that's how we learn. 4. Check: did it work? If not, try something else! You're building your thinking muscles. The more you practice, the stronger they get!
