"Thinking out of the box"- What is creativity, what is the box? Human traits in creativity, creativity in individuals, creativity techniques, creativity in teams (team dynamics).
- The Practical Part
- Develop your idea in teams: Whether you bring your idea or join another team because you find their idea cool: we face the challenge to go from your idea to the product or service to selling it on the market in one semester.
