4. So far we have dealt with the facts, benefits and risks of the pan and what we have done is
leaving some space in our thinking for Creative Thinking.
Look at the pan again.

What else could it be? (For example fishing net)

How could you use it differently? (You could wear it as a hat)

How could you make it better? (Add detachable pieces that could transform it into a new
cooking tool)

If it was as big as a house what could it be? (For example, a swimming pool)

If it was as small as a thimble what could we do with it? (For example, a cup for a fairy)

Now the craziest ideas are what we want here, anything goes. Don’t hold yourself back!!

Now imagine applying this technique to an object you design and make? Imagine being free to
re- invent it! You can apply this technique in more detail to solving a specific issue or problem.
