In 1953, American biologist James Watson and English physicist Francis Crick made a profound discovery: the structure of DNA was a double helix. They made cardboard cutouts to approximate the shapes of the molecules they knew were part of DNA’s makeup and, like a puzzle, experimented with different ways of putting them together. They would shift around their models on their desktops, trying to find a shape that fit everything they knew about how the molecules were arranged. My philosophy of #EveryoneCan Make-Play-Build revolves around this concept of "object metaphor," helping us understand and organise our thoughts. For instance, we might say "grasping an idea" or "building a theory," using physical actions to explain mental processes. LEGO Serious Play is one of the toolkit i encourage K-12 Educators to use in the classroom to better structure and communicate complex thoughts. It's a natural and effective way to navigate the often intangible world of ideas. So, when you come across phrases that use physical actions to describe mental activities, remember that it's a powerful tool for making sense of the abstract.
