Hack-A-Diagram
Sometimes how we diagram out a problem can reveal different ways to see and describe a problem. What if we switched up the diagram? What changes if our diagram is simple or complex? Familiar or strange?
What might we see if our problem were diagrammed as a one-way chemical process? Or as a continuous water cycle? Or as a bicycle or as a woven basket?
The challenge of repurposing a strange diagram to explain a system that you think you are familiar with can help you see new aspects of power, flow, and relationship.
The activity can be done individually, in pairs or in small groups. We recommend doing this with divergent thinkers.
