The Problem is Not the Problem
People are fascinated with getting ahead and being successful in their personal and professional lives. Generally, this has to do with their ability to solve problems, identify obstacles in their path, and figure out how to move past them. Regardless of profession, each of us is on the hook to solve problems ranging from the trivial to the intractable. But “problem” is an overused word. We assign the label to almost every imperfect situation we encounter, then deal with all of them in roughly the same way: either we avoid them or tackle them head-on. Then we wonder what happened when, lo and behold, our kneejerk "solutions" turn against us. For all our efforts to conquer the skill, for all the value we place on those who do it well, we too often ignore a critical truth about problem-solving: problems are not always problems. More accurately, there is a range of problem types, and a range of different strategies appropriate for handling them. We just can’t tell the difference. In this talk, recognized design thinker Harry Max reveals a new model for diagnostic thinking, one that will forever change the way you envision problem solving.

Educators weew invited to the Legoengineering Educators Conference on The 4th Floor of the Downtown Chattanooga Public Library on Saturday, June 7 2014 from 8:30am until 4:00pm.
42 educators attended from throughout the Hamilton County Education system.
Thinking about how robots can accomplish tasks after natural disasters is a realworld challenge given to students and educators This miniature LEGO scenario provides so many interesting ways to look at problemsolving with robots.
LEGOengineering is developed by the Tufts Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO), with the support of LEGO Education and innovative teachers from around the globe, including the Engineering Design Group Educators (EDGE).
The mission of LEGOengineering is to inspire and support teachers in bringing LEGO-based engineering to all students.
