This document contains the notes from a presentation given by Brian Housand on curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving. Some of the key points include: - Curiosity is the root of creativity and helps lead people down new paths. IQ is related to curiosity and effort. - Thinking like a child by maintaining a sense of wonder can help solve problems. - Creating experiences through storytelling can heighten anticipation, stimulate interest and deepen understanding. - Developing critical thinking skills involves questioning information sources, considering biases and supporting evidence. - Approaching problems from defining the problem to generating and evaluating solutions helps move from stuck to solutions.
