Project Zero’s exploration of creativity can be described in three waves. The first wave identified creativity as an individual act of human invention, delving deeply into distinct portraits of creativity embodied by creative “giants”, as well as how breakthrough thinking and cognitive insight operate in the creative processes of artists. The second wave situated creativity within complex systems, exploring how knowledge and cognition are distributed across objects, individuals, artifacts, and tools in the environment. The current wave frames creativity as cultural participation, such as school cultures that value and support playful learning, or maker-centered movements that encourage learners to look closely, explore complexity, and find opportunity.
