Overcoming Functional Fixedness Workshop

Unleash your creativity and explore how overcoming functional fixedness can help you bring new life to objects that no longer serve their original purpose. Bring an old toy or item that you’d like to upcycle into something new and functional. You’ll want to take notes for this one, so bring a notepad and pen!
