MDeC Training Program - UTAR PJ (Batch 2) - (Part 3)

CREATIVITY & INNOVATION

The next module we had was 'Creativity & Innovation'. This is a 4-day module, aimed at helping students understand what Creativity is, how to apply Creativity in Problem Solving and Decision Making, and most importantly, how to Think-Out-Of-The-Box when solving problems in their daily lives and professional lives.

Look at how serious the students are...There's no need to be so serious! Relax and have fun!

After lunch during the 2nd day, one of the students, Frank, "Volunteered" (or rather..he was volunteered, to be more exact) to entertain us with a song. He gladly came to the front of the class to showcase his talents...he started slow...but as he continued...the class started joining him...one by one his friends joined in...and very soon...the whole class was singing together...holding hands and waving their hands in the air. Too bad I didn't get a photograph of that. But it was truly a wonderful sight, I must say!

Creativity is about making things / tasks better and faster. So, here we have one of the students, Siew Ting, learning how to fold a T-shirt in under 3 seconds. Amazing?

This picture was taken during the 3rd day of the program...during the 'EGG game'. This is the first group...showing off their masterpiece...a structure made of straw and some masking tape. This structure is supposed to break the fall of an egg which will be launched from a height of about 7-8 feet.

The 2nd group showing off their masterpiece...look at how elaborate their structure is! It's extremely stable...thanks to the 2 engineers in their group...

And finally, this is the 3rd group...this group is full of Creative energy because they have 7 girls and only 1 guy in the group (in general, girls have more creative energy in them, whereas guys have more logic and reasoning power).

That ends this posting...next, we're going to see the students in action during their graduation night...so, stay tuned!
