Problem Solving

in troublesome times

Frida Kahlo

"Frida Kahlo was involved in a tragic bus accident at the age of 18 and had to convalesce for three months. It was during this time that she devoted herself to painting. Kahlo would be bedridden many times in her life, having to undergo multiple surgeries. These “set-backs” appear to have enhanced her creativity."

Nikola Tesla

"Nikola Tesla had to interrupt his university studies when his father died, but he never returned to college because he suffered from hypersensitivity related to cholera. He was confined to bed for nine months, and when he emerged, he had figured out the secret of alternating current."

Think of two things you absolutely love doing.

For example: hiking and playing basketball
video games and shopping

In two minutes, write as many ideas as you can that combine these two activities.

Basketball hike: special course with baskets through the woods
Video game that earns you points to get discounts on shopping
