About the Event

Workshop Summary:

This two half-day workshop is designed to develop the creative and persuasive skills of gifted students using a game-based approach. Students will learn about the theories of creativity & persuasion, and how they can be applied in their studies and daily life. A series of fun and challenging games will be introduced and analysed to challenge students to extend their creative and persuasive skills through the topics below:

Creativity:

  • What is creativity and how can we become more creative?
  • How do game designers come up with such creative ideas and what can we learn from that?
  • How can we apply creativity in our academic studies and daily life?

Persuasive skills:

  • How can we communicate complex ideas effectively to a general audience?
  • How can we use presentation skills and rhetorical devices to enhance the persuasiveness of our speeches?
  • How can we incorporate creativity to enhance our persuasion and make a lasting impact?

The workshop will be led by Ms Wong and Dr Kwok:
