It may seem a little out there, but my intent for this project was to put people in different scenarios and see what they came up with I hosted a party, and put a lot of lego on the table and created different circumstances(environments for creation) I didnt let people in on what I was doing untill the end of the night. The first thing I did was remove some of the more obvious build sets from the box and take the instructions away. (a few of my friends are avid lego builders, they rise to the occasion) I ask them if they have it in them to tackle the imposible the results from a build with no instructions. it was a dinosour. she had  12 missing pieces after.  but in total its fairly recognizable.  The left over pieces from everyone's first thing they made built without the instructions. (a small kit)  The second thing I did was offer prizes, in the form of  small monetary prizes for anyone who could complete their build without in...

The science behind the prince Rupert drop lead to a lot of new discoveries with technology. for example, it resulted in ideas like gorilla glass. which is used in all new phone producti...
