Creative thinking isn’t just imagination; it’s an essential component of critical thinking. By experimenting with new perspectives, questioning assumptions, and connecting ideas, you’ll gain tools for deeper inquiry and more innovative work. Chat with Tex Kang to explore tools and strategies that can help you think differently about your research and projects.

Learning Goal:
Help participants understand the relationship between creative thinking and critical thinking and introduce them to library resources that support imaginative and analytical work.

Learning Outcome:
Participants will be able to articulate how creative thinking contributes to critical thinking, identify relevant library tools and spaces (such as makerspaces and digital resources), and apply at least one creative thinking strategy to their own academic or creative projects.
