The Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab identified some guiding principles for cultivating creativity that can be adapted for life under social distancing:

• Projects: Many projects can be completed using the same tools. Just as children find new ways to construct Legos, employees can find new ways to synthesize ideas.
• Passion: Encourage co-workers to develop their own ideas for projects that will use their talents and hold their attention.
• Peers: Creativity flourishes when we connect and communicate. Use remote tools to seek out connections and maintain communication.
