How to be Creative INSIDE the box | Vince Siu | TEDxHong Kong

Game designer Vince Siu argues that people have not lost their ability to think outside the box; they have instead been placed in poorly designed ones. In this TEDxHong Kong talk, he uses a giant die to build a story with the audience from scratch in two minutes, demonstrating that imagination can work well within constraints. Siu is the founder and CEO of Press Start Academy, an education start-up in Hong Kong. His work focuses on gamification and learning experience design for corporate and educational clients, and on learning through play. He has been recognized as a Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum and as a Gen.T Leader of Tomorrow by Tatler Asia.

• Creativity under constraints: imagination can thrive within limits
• A two-minute collaborative storytelling exercise with a giant die

Armed with a giant die, he builds a story with the audience from nothing in two minutes to prove imagination thrives under constraints.
