Creative Problem Solving, May 12, 2025 [2nd period]

Anakin and Ahsoka were standing in front of eight tables, each of which held a bunch of bananas, a cutting board, and--worryingly--duct tape, masking tape, a stapler and a glue stick. "Welcome to Creative Problem Solving," Anakin said.

"There's a saying that when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail," Ahsoka added. "Our plan is to teach you creative ways to use that hammer."

"And to think on your feet using what you have available," Anakin said like having these particular items would be a normal situation for some of them.

"Just remember there are no wrong answers in this class," Ahsoka said. "But we will be judging on how creatively you interpret our instructions while still staying within them."

"We'll do introductions as you explain your creations," Anakin said. "Make the biggest and best banana using only the supplies you have in front of you. You have 120 seconds, after which Ahsoka and I will judge you." The creations, right, Anakin? Not the participants?

The creations, right?

"And after we're done judging, we'll give you homework," Anakin said. Because summer homework was the best!

"I wanted to avoid the tape," Eleanor explained, "to keep it appetizing, but I guess that point was kind of moot..."

There was a slight pause as she considered her failed mega banana.

"On the bright side," she offered, "it could probably still be used for some banana bread, maybe."

Except, knowing her, she's probably burn it.

...you know, maybe it was a good thing if all these challenges in this class were merely on a banana scale.
