Imagine you were asked to invent something new. It could be whatever you want, made from anything you choose, in any shape or size. That kind of creative freedom sounds so liberating, doesn't it? Or ... does it? if you're like most people you'd probably be paralyzed by this task. Why? Brandon Rodriguez explains how creative constraints actually help drive discovery and innovation.

Brandon Rodriguez: The power of creative constraints

The power of creative constraints

Constraints, not boundless freedom, fuel creativity and innovation, guiding scientists and engineers towards groundbreaking discoveries.

NASA's evolving Mars rover landings, from contaminated thrusters to a skycrane, underscore how constraints propel technological leaps.

Constraints in creativity act not as barriers but as springboards towards innovative solutions and scientific advancements.
