Ideation

From Concept to Creation

In the 21st Century, Technology, Design, and Creativity combine to become the concept of Ideation, the translation of ideas into life, like entertainment, web & interactive applications, graphic design and more. These are all now integrated to fully support the social media revolution and the emerging ways you are communicating today and will need to tomorrow.

James Cameron's Avatar is one recent example of ideation - Cameron, the creative mind behind the movie, even helped develop the 3-D cameras that were used.  Read more about the making of this groundbreaking film here.

Science Museum of Minnesota

Ever heard of Wallace and Gromit?  Its movie producers and director use animated clay figures to create a fun story for kids using Stop Motion Animation.  Youth who attended the event were taught this intriguing process by a group of young people from the Science Museum of Minnesota's Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center.  Participants had the opportunity to make their own Stop Motion Photography.

Peggy Lauritsen Design Group & Puny Entertainment

In collaboration with the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota, GE and the University of Minnesota, these folks helped design and animate Minnesota's first-ever K-12 Journey Map.  The map indicates milestones and provides links to valuable tools and resources to support young people who are on their journey to post-secondary education whether that's 1, 2 or 4-year college.  Check out the map by clicking on the link on our home page!

The founder of this digital vision statement tool worked with the Diva Mentoring Program youth to create their fun and informative future vision statements.  The team helped participants create their own vision by teaching them how to use the digital tool and shared their awesome vision statements on the Main Stage in the Best Buy Rotunda.
