of generating diverse and originalideas with fluency and speed. Even during design experiences, neither the importance ofcreativity nor various methods to boost it is covered, leaving students mostly on their own for alimited duration for “brainstorming”. However, creativity and originality are among the mostsignificant skills employers want today; and they are also projected to be in demand in years tocome (see Figure 1).Figure 1. A Comparison on Skills Demand – 2018 vs. 2022 (The Future of Jobs Report, 2018,pp.12 [4])To a certain extent, this rather ad hoc approach to creativity is due to a lack of knowledge on thecognitive and neural mechanisms underlying divergent thinking, and creative ideation moregenerally.
