Curiosity challenge: When "Follow your passion" isn't quite working for you

from STEMdentity

I’m dropping this quick minisode to invite us all to jump joy first into a creativity challenge: 15 minutes a day. 30 days. Just…explore the thing you’re curious about. Maybe you take an intentional break at work. Maybe you write the things that pop into mind on a sticky note and you do a deep dive at the end of your day. Curiosity and creativity are STEM super powers for us scientists and engineers, but the busyness of our days can stifle those sparks. It doesn’t matter when you find this episode: today is always a good day to start nurturing your curiosity again.Song of the week: Bishtar Behand by LirazFeeling curious about the fact that school taught you almost everything except how to be full of curiosity?
