Our meticulously crafted STEAM program is tailored to nurture innate creativity and deepen comprehension of nature’s fundamental systems. Participants engage in targeted exercises to enhance self-sufficiency and ingenuity, strategically designed to overcome functional fixedness— a condition exacerbated by urbanization and limited educational exposure. Through our program, we aim to cultivate a dynamic skill set that transcends conventional boundaries, fostering a generation adept at innovation and problem-solving.
Functional Fixedness
Functional fixedness is a cognitive bias that limits an individual’s ability to use an object or envision alternative uses for it, stemming from a tendency to perceive the object only in its traditional, fixed role. This mental constraint hinders creative problem-solving, as individuals may struggle to explore novel or unconventional applications of familiar items due to preconceived notions about their intended functions. Overcoming functional fixedness is essential in fostering innovative thinking and adaptability
For example, if someone needs a paperweight, but they only have a hammer, they may not see how the hammer can be used as a paperweight. Functional fixedness is this inability to see a hammer’s use as anything other than for pounding nails; the person couldn’t think to use the hammer in a way other than in its conventional function.
