<p>Shaping Thinking explores the potential of democratising creative problem-solving tools traditionally siloed within creative education. At its core, the objective of this project is to empower individuals and organisations to generate ideas and visually communicate them effectively.<br /><br />This research was initially conceived to support STEM academics to visualise their own complex research, but it’s scope evolved as the potential for broader application was recognised. <br /><br />‘Shaping Thinking’ was supported by AUP and UKRI Knowledge Exchange funding, our aim to develop frameworks and materials supporting self-facilitated workshops, providing accessible and adaptable visualisation tools for all.</p>
