Growth Mindset: Fostering New Ideas in My Capstone Class

For this post, I used the following article: A Growth Mindset Fuels Creativity in Youth

This particular article confirmed that a growth mindset helps people continue to learn and try new things to succeed. From my Principles of Engineering Design class last semester, I had already learned about the importance of maintaining a growth mindset in order to further grow and develop as an engineer in my future career.
This article also enlightened me with information that I did not previously consider. For example, the article states how being open to new ideas brings about different perspectives that can help solve problems that require nonrigid ideological thinking. Instead of being so fixed on one perspective, I'm going to try my best to consider other aspects of the problem, and consider other ideas that may arise in order to solve future problems in my career.
I'm now curious to explore about being open to new ideas. Since I am in my Capstone class this semester and working on a final project with a team, it seems fitting to try this strategy and consider new ideas from my team members that I would not otherwise think of myself. I'll act on this curiosity by instigating ideas from my fellow team members during our next meeting to think of possible solutions for our project and foster new ideas.
