Sprint Exercises

Exercise 1

The Re-Mix

Take two unrelated things (like cooking and architecture) and combine them into a single idea, concept, or product. Write 3–4 sentences describing it.

Example: Idea: A “taste map” app that helps architects design spaces using principles of flavor—pairing color, texture, and light to evoke sensory balance.

Exercise 2

What If You Could…

Ask a “what if” question that bends the rules of reality (e.g., “What if classrooms had no walls?”). Then write a 1-paragraph idea or story inspired by that question.

Example: What if job interviews worked both ways, and companies had to prove they were good enough for applicants? It might shift how we define value and confidence.

Exercise 3

Change the Ending

Pick a movie, book, or historical moment—and rewrite the ending. In one paragraph, explain what changes and what new possibility it opens.

Example: If Da Vinci had focused his genius solely on engineering instead of art, the Renaissance might have advanced technology faster—but lost some of its soul.

Exercise 4

The 10 Uses Test

Pick an ordinary object (like a fork, shoelace, or mug) and list 10 different uses for it. Let your ideas be as practical or absurd as you like.

Example: Object: Mug. Uses: candle mold, pen holder, plant pot, amplifier, paperweight, symbol in a short film about routine.

Exercise 5

Make It Weirder

Take a normal idea (like “team meeting” or “online store”) and make it intentionally strange or extreme. Write one paragraph explaining your version.

Example: In a “reverse meeting,” everyone must communicate without speaking, only through sketches and gestures. It would reveal how much creativity emerges when words are removed.
