ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Divergent thinking

Divergent Thinking is when you come up with lots of different ideas and new solutions. It's like your mind is moving in many directions and coming up with lots of different answers to a problem. For example, if you were asked how to get to the other side of a river, you could think of different ways, like jumping over it or building a bridge. You can be very creative when you do divergent thinking!
