CHILDREN take creative problem-solving in their stride, so why do adults resist?

In one weekend, a room full of seven-year-olds can dream up a new retail product, design it, work out how to take it to market and mock up a social media presence.

"It's cool, right?" says Vanessa Garrard, chief executive and founder of Queensland based E3 Style, a company that develops consumer products for retailers.

"They won't be able to run a business, but the idea is that in one weekend they can go and create a new product."
