Humans have been creative problem solvers since man lit his first fire. Our brains are wired to look for new connections and solutions when we are presented with puzzles. Puzzle-solving depends on creative insight and neuroscientists are beginning to have a deeper understanding of how our brains affect problem-solving.

This workshop will ask students to solve a variety of puzzles, and to learn what the “brain spark” is that ignites the solution. Come problem solve, create, learn about your brain, and have fun doing it! This is for risk takers and those that like a creative challenge.

Lunch is provided.
