LISTEN & LEARN: Be Open

In this third episode of the Listen & Learn Summer Series, Cyndi and Matt discuss "Be Open" - one of ten actions they've identified for classroom creativity during their 60+ podcast interviews with creativity researchers, practitioners, and talented educators.    During the conversation, Cyndi and Matt revisit advice shared by creativity research and renowned author Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman and Dr. Patrícia Alves-Oliveira, an expert in human robotics design.
