I received a letter from the Bay Area Discovery Museum and it started out asking, How do you define creativity? It said the following about creativity:
"This word means different things to different people. Many people think creativity is the ability to make works of art, perform as a musician, or write literature. The problem with this definition is that it implies creativity is something only a small group of gifted individuals possess, and that most of us lack it. In reality we all have creative potential. From infancy on, we use creative thinking skills to navigate the intricacies and challenges of life- to find solutions to problems, make connections between ideas, and develop our own passions and interests.
The Bay Area Discovery Museum's mission is to ignite and advance creative thinking for all children.
They have been around for over 25 years. The museum is amazing with tons of both outdoor and indoor places! Billy loves it! The museum truly, in my opinion, fulfills the mission! If schools and museums for children all had such clear and wonderful missions, the world, I believe, would be a better place!
