Creating with hands, heart and head subject is about we inventing and creating these projects. But some days ago I just discovered the Institute of Imagination and it also fit here. So I want to share it with you.
Probably you know about Sir Ken Robinson. (Two popular TED Talks from him where shared at the first post of Design Thinking subject content.) He is the Patron of the Institute of Imagination, on the following video he explains a bit about it:
You can visit the Institute of Imagination web site here. And also I encourage you to read the PDF where they explain their vision, it's quite interesting.

But it's just my opinion. What's yours?
