It’s essential to train the mind so that one may put it into action for wherever one’s interests lay. Developing and maintaining curiosity is essential to problem-solving.  In this activity, you will reawaken the curiosity you had naturally as a toddler. Walk for 15-30 minutes (ideally someplace new, but maybe it's just around your dwelling). Carefully notice your surroundings. Observe the smallest details of the world around you. Question, think, make connections and inferences. Wonder about all that is around you. Write down 10 wonder statements (something that you could research further). Take pictures along the way (if you want, make them artsy; if not, make them uncluttered). To illustrate your wonder walk , post something on your blog. (Your choice: a Google slide show, animoto, screencast, Adobe Spark, etc.) For example : excerpts from two summer wonder walks of mine.
