Courage to Imagine

How does imagination change as we grow older? How has the courage to imagine created a better world? We will look briefly at the imaginative products of Benjamin Franklin, William Shakespeare, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Malala Yousafzia and how each changed the world. We will explore how we have and can continue to have the courage to use our imaginations.
