Ingenio is founded on the premise that everybody young and old, have the potential to be creative. We believe that ingenuity and creative imagination are developed as
a result of early and continued practice. We expose and nurture the development of the Creative Practices in children and adults.
In this competitive global economy, the next frontier is often called the creative economy. For individuals and countries to compete effectively, creativity will increasingly become the norm, and provide the tool to create immense value, solutions and wealth to individuals and nations alike.
We advocate interdisciplinary learning that bridges the different domains of arts, sciences and humanities to bring out the best of creativity in children and adults.
We believe in using well developed, evidence-based curriculum that is supported
by solid research and results.
| According to Prof Amabile at Harvard University, domain skills, that is, subjects learnt at school, are not sufficient for creativity to occur. Creativity skills and the internal drive are also essential. At Ingenio, our program compliment’s the individual’s domain skills to ignite
personal creativity by developing the 12 Ingenio Creative Practices and at the same time, help to develop the individual’s positive
psychological resources & strengths.
We envisage a world where people will discover, nurture & unleash their ingenuity. They will achieve greater success,
meaning and fulfillment in their own lives as well as learn the know-how to solve problems creatively for the betterment of the world.
Ingenio Pte Ltd organises workshops and enrichment programmes for children, parents and teachers in the area of nurturing creativity and ingenuity. Since 2005, we have conducted workshops for children, students (from primary school to university), educators and professionals.
