Creative skills? These three mainly:

- The ability to create/generate ideas, create things either virtual or real that have value, are new and surprising.

- Being imaginative and extending ideas beyond the boundaries in which they are generated – taking A and applying it to B.

Systematic creativity is encouraged and enabled in many disciplines such as the arts, science, design and of course, engineering.

Since MIT’s Lifelong Kindergarten group released Scratch in 2007, kids ages 8 to 13 have built more than 2.2 million animations, games, music, videos and stories using the kid-friendly programming language.
