MOUSETRAP...CONSIDER THIS!!

Hey Team,

I was trying to brainstorm how to demonstrate mental models to the class and was wondering if there was a way to connect it to the mousetrap game we're using to demonstrate system's thinking. AND i had an idea that might work.

what if we gave everyone a sheet of paper and had them draw the words we put on the board:
- cat
- cheese
- mousetrap

and then see if anyone draws anything but a standard little wooden mousetrap. Then we can show them the game and explian how our ingrained mental 'memories' lead us down on way of thought, but there are usually more than one mental model that could be correct...

just an idea. could any of the other disciplines use mousetrap as part of the demonstrations?
