Solving problems by drawing toast

Another nice Ted talk for the collection.

Making toast doesn’t sound very complicated — until someone asks you to draw the process, step by step.

Learn how to run this exercise yourself, and hear Wujec’s surprising insights from watching thousands of people draw toast.

I was lucky enough to be joined on the panel by Vicky Sargent, Rob McKinnon and Hannah Goraya, each of whom had a different perspective to share.
