As AI helps to reshape how we work, teach, and create, one of our most powerful tools remains wonderfully human: the ability to spark new ideas. But creativity isn’t magic - and it’s not reserved for “creative types.” In this GASTA session, I’ll introduce a practical, timeless five-step method for producing ideas - one that shows creativity can be a process, not a mystery.

From collecting raw material to the elusive “aha” moment, this technique offers a structured, repeatable way to get unstuck and generate fresh thinking. In a time when adaptability and innovation are essential in education, knowing how to build ideas - rather than wait for them to randomly appear - is a serious advantage.

Whether you’re designing learning experiences, solving sticky problems, or dreaming up your next EdTech project, this fast-paced session will offer a quick, powerful reminder: good ideas aren’t born - they’re built.

With Dr. Tom Farrelly counting me in (and out!), you’ll discover that in a world full of algorithms, the real spark is you - the human in the loop, with a great idea ready to ignite.
