Play Well With Others: Creativity Through Collaboration

by AnnMarie Thomas | at Minnebar20 | 2:20 – 3:00 | View Schedule

For the past 20+ years, I've found myself leading collaborative projects. To me, the best outcomes often come from combining unusual topics and bringing together people from a variety of backgrounds. This approach has led to the creation of new communities (such as the Playful Learning Lab, Educator Show and Tell, and PlayLine), new products (ranging from Squishy Circuits to OK Go Sandbox), and new ways of working (for me and for my clients.)

In this session we'll explore: -How to find new collaborators (even if you're an introvert!) -Advice for the framing of collaborations (hint: don't leave them open ended- have a goal!) -Playful approaches to ideation

AnnMarie Thomas

AnnMarie is an engineer. An artist. An educator. A maker. A writer. A lifelong learner who built her career mixing science, art, tech, and curiosity into something new — over and over again. From Squishy Circuits (play dough that lights up!) to OK Go Sandbox (music videos as STEAM playgrounds), to founding the Playful Learning Lab at the University of St. Thomas. Her work reminds us: when we make space for play, we make space for possibility.

Today, she leads Listo Idea Co, consulting on projects ranging from workshop design to ocean focused VR/AR. She’s also an enthusiastic learner in a wide range of hobbies, including trapeze and magic (and is a Magician Member of the Academy of Magical Arts).
