	This workshop immerses participants into using both familiar and unfamiliar creative methodologies, problem-solving techniques, and the application of diverse tool sets. This comprehensive program spans from understanding the fundamentals of creativity to the practical utilization of creative tool kits for generating and focusing options in problem-solving scenarios. By the end of the day, participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary for creative problem-solving, fostering an innovative mindset, and providing practical tools for addressing challenges in real-world scenarios. The workshop is designed to engage participants through structured problem-solving activities, allowing them to apply various techniques in hands-on labs. It will begin with an introduction to a range of problem-solving strategies, including idea-generation and focusing tools, among others. These techniques will help participants approach challenges systematically and creatively. The workshop will be divided into groups by the facilitator, with each group tackling different labs. As participants work through the labs, they will practice and apply the tools and techniques introduced earlier. The facilitator will guide the groups, providing support and facilitating discussion to ensure participants are effectively using the problem-solving methods. This collaborative and interactive format encourages active learning and helps participants refine their problem-solving skills in a real-world context.
