Students are always encouraged to think outside of the box when problem solving, but once the box has been created in your mind it is difficult to move on to another idea. This is especially hard when you think the first idea is pretty good, and you have had limited exposure to the problem. This solution is to create a simple mind mapping game that would allow a young person to drag and drop words or tagged images or quotes into a virtual box, and then have that data free associated across the web. The output from this search would yield a series of clusters of related and unrelated nodes with a central “Big Idea” surrounded by Related Inspirations.
