Creativity Scrimmages are fast-paced challenges of hands-on problem solving. 

At the core is teamwork and design thinking - key to building creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Scrimmages promote a practice of repetition, reflection and hard (but fun!) work.

We call them scrimmages because they test these skills in a live environment focusing on continuous improvement.

We compiled (and continue to add) a large collection of challenges. We organized the instructions, materials and set-up for ease of use in the classroom and beyond.
