HEUREKA! Everyone's a Think-Tank! How to foster creativity and create business opportunities
Creativity as key to success – great lessons from da Vinci, Edison and Steven Jobs!
Creativity is one of the most important factors for success in business. But an innovative idea does not suddenly occur out of nowhere as a strike of genius in somebody's head.
Dealing with thoughts, concepts and ideas in a creative, playful and productive way is an ability that can be enhanced and trained, just like any other talent. This workshop will show and train a couple of established techniques for "thinking outside of the box".
Not every musician will become Mozart, not every engineer Thomas Alva Edison, and not every left-handed painter Leonardo, yet it is worthwhile to understand and emulate their strategies for tapping into their genius potential.
Lecturer: Thorsten Kreissig - TeeKay, Mensa Germany
TeeKay combines art, education, and science to inspire social change. With a background in performing arts, he has created and directed over 200 international projects in ballet, opera, and musical comedy. He develops participatory art projects, including flash mobs like “Dance the Cranko” and the robot-human “U&I-Robotic-Dance.” Since 2020, he collaborates with the University of Luxembourg on AI and robotics projects for ESCH22. Trained in psychology at the Technical University of Berlin, TeeKay is also a science communicator and member of Scientists4Future, promoting action on climate change.
