“Working with Steve Mushin was such a great experience. The session really helped our Engineering and IT masters students step out of their comfort zones and explore more “out of the box” thinking. Divya Udapitiya, Student Programs Coordinator, Melbourne University

Steve spoke to our Year 5–8 students… we were essentially treated to an inspiring lecture on creative thinking. Steve is a gifted communicator, who conveys his ideas with meaning and humour. Students were completely engaged in every word and the number of insightful questions at the end of the presentation indicated how absorbed the audience had been throughout his talk. Steve’s ability to spark imaginative, solution-focused-thinking for our students was inspiring and everyone was hooked. Tracey Hull, Library Manager, St Andrew’s College, Christchurch

OVERVIEW: I run high-energy creative-thinking sessions to inspire people of all ages to re-imagine rewilding the world’s cities. My talks and workshops (1h-multi day) include inspiring stories about incredible real-world design, engineering and rewilding projects, laugh-out-loud explanations of my own absurd-sounding, but theoretically possible rewilding inventions, as well as high speed design, drawing and model making activities. My workshops focus on encouraging creative thinking, imagining positive futures, and helping particicapts overcome anxieties around climate change.

Steves’s workshop at Scienceworks gave kids and adults an opportunity to imagine, dream big, solve the problems of today, and most importantly conceive new and playful approaches to the world we might live in tomorrow. His workshop was extremely fun for all involved, and participants reveled in having ownership of their designs and sharing them with the group. It ignited the creative funny bone in everyone, and offered a new assurance for creative problem solving. We could not have been more pleased about our experience with Stephen and his ingenuity as a workshop facilitator. He was an absolute hoot to work with. S. Carluccio, Scienceworks

Steve got the students thinking of the extreme lengths to which we need to go to solve environmental problems. I was able to relate aspects of his design ideas to some real Australian examples (Tasmanian devils, saltwater crocodiles), which made students realise that the ideas were not as far-fetched as they might think. S. Filan, Abbotsleigh College

Steve engaged all of our girls from the moment they came into the room. His warm and welcoming manner had them on side from the outset. He allowed each of them to share their thoughts and ideas and made them all feel valued and an important part of the workshop. It is not easy to be able to work with a wide age range but Stephen handled it masterfully. The concepts and ideas explored were talked about for days after he left. J. Lang, Head of Junior School, Korowa Anglican Girls’ School

The incursion with Steve Mushin was delightfully surprising. His crazy and out-of-the-box thinking definitely got all of us buzzing with excitement and fresh ideas. We all enjoyed creating and designing inventions and I know that we will be using his creative thinking in our own real-life situations. Year 9 Student, Korowa Anglican Girls’ School
