Ronald Beghetto has a conversation with Sarah Stein Greenberg about how important it is to shift students’ mindsets from one based on a structured idea of what school and learning is, to one that is open, creative, iterative, adaptive, and able to improvise as they keep learning. Stein Greenberg also talks about her book “Creative Acts for Curious People,” which she wrote with the goal of bringing skills and methods used at the d school to a much wider audience. Stein Greenberg sees this book as a handbook for people to realize the creative power they already possess, emphasizing that everyone is and can be creative. Stein Greenberg imagines a future where people are able to unleash their creative abilities to the fullest with an education system that supports that pathway.
