The power of creative constraints | Brandon Rodriguez | TED-Ed Animation

With “The power of creative constraints,” viewers have a chance to learn more about problem solving and creativity. In this educational TED Talk, lesson creator Brandon Rodriguez asks the audience to imagine they were asked to invent something new. Would the creative freedom feel liberating or would you, like most people, feel paralyzed by the task? Rodriguez uses this hypothetical question as a framework to talk about why boundless freedom isn’t always helpful, and explains why creative constraints, when it comes to design thinking in science industries, actually help drive discovery and innovation.
