    1) Creative Ideas, effective, problems

    2) Innovation is like a clay, where you can only change it to something new and better, but not the same as the state it was before, this shows that innovation is to create something better and not the same thing. Think out of the box, this represents innovation, as what you create must be better and must be beneficial to most of the people. The world is like a soil, if there is no plants the soil will erode, it is the same as earth, if there is no innovation the world will bot be a better place, this shows us that the world cannot live peacefully unless we have new innovation.

    3) Brainstorming : Stay focused on the task,
    Keep an Open Mind
    Listen carefully to each other's respond; one person speaks the others listen

    (iii) All to one table - students can focus mainly on one macbook and still close enough to share ideas
