๐Ÿ”ŽCase Brief #17

๐Ÿ‘ซ You and your friend disagree about something.

๐ŸŽฏ Your mission

Unlock the thinking move.

โšก The twist

Combine two ideas you wouldn't normally mix.

What You'll Learn

๐Ÿง  Design a school lunch from the year 2100. What technology exists? What foods are available? What problems have been solved? Imagining the future exercises creative muscles. 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!
