Davies, A

Abstract

This research paper presents an analysis of a collaborative task completed by students, which involved broadcasting a live camera feed from the Blue Peter Gardens at Media City UK to their Mac Studio using a 5G Public network. The paper focuses on the divergent thinking strategies employed by the students during the session, which
involves exploring multiple perspectives and possibilities to generate solutions to a problem. By analysing the students' use of divergent thinking strategies, the paper provides valuable insights into the cognitive abilities required for success in various fields.

The study emphasises the importance of cultivating a culture of collaboration and creativity in educational settings,
where students can learn and apply different problem-solving strategies to real-world challenges. The exploration
of divergent thinking strategies highlights their potential impact on students' academic and professional development.

Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the role of divergent thinking in
fostering innovation and success in diverse fields.
