Kid Creation

Stimulating creativity in children through DIY-focused innovations

Implications - Child creativity is becoming a concern for adults. Researcher Kyung Hee Kim's 2010 study of 300,000 creativity tests dating back to the '70s uncovered that creativity has been decreasing among American children, and that since 1990, children have become less able to produce unique and imaginative ideas. This harsh truth has spawned a number of innovations aimed at sparking childhood creativity, ranging from mobile DIY labs to creative apps for kids. The good news is that creativity can indeed be cultivated, and that any innovation that helps to nurture creativity among youth is sure to be welcomed with open arms.
Trend Themes
1. Child Creativity Crisis - The decrease of creativity in American children has spawned a number of innovations aimed at sparking childhood creativity.
2. Diy-focused Innovations for Kids - The growth of applications, online communities, and mobile services encouraging children to engage in DIY activities, which stimulate creativity.
3. Traveling DIY Mobile Centers - The trend of mobile DIY labs that equip children with hi-tech shop tools, laser printers, rapid prototyping equipment and other design gear for hands-on creation activities.
Industry Implications
1. Children's Education and Entertainment - These trends represent opportunities in this industry to create innovative products or services that engage children in creative and educational activities.
2. Technology and App Development - The growth of mobile applications, online communities, and movement towards the digitization of children's entertainment provides disruptions opportunities in this industry.
3. Traditional Toy and Confectionery - As a result of an increasing demand for natural, health-conscious and creative options, these trends present opportunities for companies in these industries to create new kinds of toys and candies.
