I have just crafted a new creativity exercise.
Divide the class into product development teams. Each team will be
assigned the task of developing a new product out of the below
icosahedron's. This will remain as a plan rather than have them
actually build products though. Manipulation of the icosahedron's can
be included in ways stimulated by

The instructor may have the teams discuss elements of business plans for
their best product ideas. Marketing considerations might be emphasized
though creative materials specifications, etc., might be assigned.
