The idea behind much of Bornstein’s work, as he explains on his Dowser Web site, is to show “Who’s solving what and how” with the aim of inspiring creative problem solving in others. Instead of beginning with a problem and then trying to come up with a solution, reflect on solutions with which you are familiar, and then consider how those solutions could be tweaked to help solve another problem. The Roots of Empathy program, for example, might suggest other problems that could be helped by giving people an opportunity to try out a different perspective. Another example featured on the Dowser site that could offer a model to solve problems is Community Spokes, an after-school program that teaches students to fix bicycles in their community. How could this program be adapted to teach other practical, possibly even money-making, skills to children?
