Overcoming Functional Fixedness Workshop

June 3, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Unleash your creativity and explore how overcoming functional fixedness can help you bring new life to objects that no longer serve their original purpose. Bring an old toy or item that you’d like to upcycle into something new and functional. You’ll want to take notes for this one, so bring a notepad and pen!

Facilitator Bio: Levi Hudari Sungu’Ra is an African born in Philadelphia whose work focuses on community collaboration. He is a musician, author, and activist who incorporates ancient and modern therapeutic modalities while advocating for change that starts at a local level.

He is dedicated to cultivating and igniting the innate intelligence and creativity of youth and adults in a holistic, supportive environment that prioritizes open dialogue and cultural awareness. He designs and implements curriculums for schools in Philadelphia, as well as Liberia, and is also the founder of the African Science Academy.
