Changing the world begins with an idea. An idea is a thought that blooms from what we know. Now how does it get from knowledge to "Ah ha!" - you guessed it, imagination! Dr. Tina Seelig (Yes, we do love her work!) so aptly describes, "Your imagination is the catalyst for transforming knowledge into ideas." 

So, in the current climate - pun intended - we've created a library of ideas, re-imagining to recycle. What else could that every day item be? How else could it be used - maybe for a costume or make-believe play, or even as a tool?

​The library has a comments section. We hope that our thoughts can plant seeds of creativity in those who come by it, and that it will grow as people add their ideas. Maybe even into an app?

Please feel free to add your ideas and what ifs ​below in the comments section!
