This challenge involves using your creativity to turn 30 blank circles into recognisable objects within a limited time frame, fostering quick thinking and innovative idea generation.

Detailed Instructions

1. Preparation:
   • Print or draw a sheet with 30 blank circles arranged in a grid (5x6 or 6x5).
   • Ensure each circle is large enough to draw within but small enough to fill the sheet.
   • Set a timer for 3 minutes to create a sense of urgency and encourage rapid ideation.
2. Transform the Circles:
   • Using a pen or pencil, transform as many circles as possible into recognisable objects or symbols.
   • Aim to fill all 30 circles within the 3-minute time frame.
   • The drawings can be simple and do not need to be highly detailed.
3. Review Your Work:
   • Once the timer is up, review your drawings.
   • Reflect on the variety and creativity of the objects you created.
   • Consider any patterns or themes that emerged in your drawings.
4. Share and Discuss:
   • Share your completed sheet with peers or mentors.
   • Discuss the different ideas generated and gather feedback.
