Synaptic Imagination

Synaptic-Imagination

Synaptic Design has partnered with Destination Imagination to get kids excited about the future of collaborative creativity, neuroscience, and design thinking.

Natalie and Alex Doud are Destination Imagination alumni who founded Synaptic Design, a creative company that fuses art and technology in its innovations. The couple, who met through DI, discuss how the program encourages kids to build on their unique strengths and how essential the skills learned through DI are in the workplace.

Synaptic Design Teaches 3D Printing and Drawing Circuits with CircuitScribe at the 2015 Destination Imagination Global Finals.

in 2014, we are brought Telepathic Arm Wrestling, a Microcontroller workshop, a giant neuron balloon, surgical training and Wander Missions to the Global Finals tournament in Knoxville Tennessee May 20-24

Can you out-focus your friends? At the Synaptic Imagination booth, participants challenged their friends to a game of Telepathic Arm Wrestling. By reading their brain waves with Wearable Sensing, they controlled a robot arm with their brain! 

 

Creativity Workshops

Creativity can be exercised.

Creating the perfect team is a delicate and continually evolving process. Finding the right people is only the beginning of a forming a great team. Research has shown that a team’s average performance is related not to the individual intelligence of each member but rather to their social sensitivity and ability to work together.

Synaptic workshops are intended to improve team cohesion by creating a low-stakes environment to practice collaboration and ideation. With ten years of experience writing, leading and appraising creative team challenges, we can help target what your team needs. We have led workshops for Zeus Jones, Thrivent Financial, and more. Challenge difficulty can span from very simple to highly complex and can be tailored to highlight specific themes or lessons that your team wishes to focus on.
