Let's Brainstorm

Brainstorming is finding solutions or a conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by it an individual or group members.

Brainstorming is a technique use to generate new ideas, new solutions to problems often done in small groups. It's better to have five brains thinking and coming out of a new idea and/or solution than one brain could. With the combined forces of all the five brainpower. Creativity and problem-solving skills are multiplied by five. We are able to harness the full creativity and wisdom each brain has to work on a specific problem. I think brainstorm in a group is effective when it's done correctly, when everyone is open-minded to share and no judgement is being passed.   

Our group is being tasked to think on 101 Ways on how to wear a shirt. Overtime, interesting ideas have surfaced up such as by cutting holes in the shirt, rolling a shirt into a bra, wearing it as a cape, using it as a neck scarf or even wearing it as a bandana or turban. Of course it's hard to come out with 101 ways, but if we put our heads in and all our mental energy in it, it then can be done. But then, due to the different female distraction on the screen and a hungry stomach, we weren't able to fully utilised all our mental energy and brainpower. We have came out with a mind map to list down all the possible ways in which we can wear a shirt.
