Creativity and Hard PlayLateral and divergent thinking is the condition for creativity
The ‘arts’ are as essential as the sciences and maths
We watched TV: TED Talk with Sir Ken Robinson (11:40)The animation was the work of RSA; for a non-animated version about how schools
kill creativity, follow this link to the TED Talk with Sir Ken Robinson.
Tony Wagner has documented some great stories about creative innovation and
innovators: individuals, groups, and education institutions
I believe…that children are inherently creative
in life-long kindergarten

Wednesday, 16 July Miss Freida Joy Riley and the Rocket BoysHomer Hickim wrote a little piece titled "The Big Creek Missile Agency" that appeared in the Air & Space Magazine in the March 1995 fascicle: Homer Hickam's short article about his life as a young boy growing up in Coalwood, WV received so much acclaim and interest, he was asked to write a book: Rocket Boys. The memoir was published in September 1998 and the movie based on it, October Sky, premiered in February 1999.
