Class Details

Wonder and Play utilizes mindfulness and creativity to improve our problem-solving abilities. We will play with words, randomness, found objects, and more, to learn new ways of engaging with the world around us. We will also practice strategies for interrupting assumptions, asking what could happen if things were different. Assessment: This course includes individual, pair, and group work. Students will be expected to complete assigned reading, participate in class activities and discussion, perform independent research, and individually document their experiences outside of class. Students will be expected to commit to a 5-minutes /day mindfulness practice. Learning objectives: increased understandings of knowledge creation, problem solving, and intentionality.
