"Exploring for Inspiration" is an interactive workshop designed to open new perspectives and elevate creative problem-solving by using inspiration as a powerful catalyst. In this engaging session, participants will explore how inspiration fuels innovation across diverse fields, examining examples from art, music, and technology to uncover the elements that drive creativity. Students will be encouraged to reflect on the question, "What inspires me?" as they define problems — drawing from a variety of sources and their own unique personal and professional experiences. This self-reflection will guide participants in discovering the "why" behind their creative pursuits and constructing their own "inner mood boards."

Next, participants will learn techniques for harnessing inspiration during the problem-solving phase. They’ll explore methods for conducting both visual and functional research, integrating insights effectively into their work. Through hands-on activities, participants will identify impactful sources of inspiration and see how these insights can shape their approach to creative solutions—whether their project involves technology, a physical object, or a conceptual idea.
