71. Creativity is just
connecting things.
When you ask creative people
how they did something, they
feel a little guilty because they
didn’t really do it, they just saw
something. It seemed obvious
to them after a while.
That’s because they were able
to connect experiences they’ve
had and SYNTHESIZE
new things.
- Steve Jobs, 1995

#1 Introduction week: What’s your passion?
It’s tough to give a good presentation on a topic that you’re not passionate about! This meeting is
all about getting to know your fellow club members and spending some time identifying and
articulating the ideas that motivate each member of your group. Later on, each club member will
present and record their own idea worth spreading in the form of a short TED-style Talk.
