Key Takeaways:

• Participants will experience self-reflection regarding their implementation successes of the past and use that information to support their future endeavors
• Participants will engage in a guided visualization

This session will demonstrate how to use the "CRAFT-TS" framework to create personas and leverage AI throughout the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model. Attendees will learn techniques for crafting detailed AI prompts to ideate, analyze, and prototype solutions for complex creative challenges. The session will cover best practices for prompt engineering, managing AI outputs, and integrating AI into each stage of the CPS process.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn the CRAFT-IT framework for persona creation and usage in CPS
• Discover methods for crafting effective AI prompts at each stage of the CPS model

This engaging session brings the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) process to life through the educational strategy of gamification. Teachers and Trainers will embark on a creative adventure, guided by four problem-solving experts: The Detective (Clarifying the Problem), The Idea Engineer (Ideation), The Quality Control Solution Inspector (Develop), and The Trailblazer (Implement). As participants navigate each challenge presented, they will sharpen their communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and the creative problem-solving skills.

Key Takeaways:

• By experiencing the educational strategy of gamification firsthand, educators/trainers will learn how to apply it to design more engaging, effective, and fun lessons/ training sessions.
• Participants will deepen their understanding of the CPS process and the Creative Thinking Skills involved as they progress through each step of the gamification /simulation as they collaborate to solve the “Climate Quicksand Challenge.”
• Educators will learn strategies to integrate the Creative Problem Solving process into their classroom curriculum and training sessions.
