Because this activity specifically asks the learner to "take risks," it connects really nicely to the literature on how creativity and intercultural competence are related, as elucidated in the AAC&U Creativity Rubric (HubICL tool #372).  An educator could connect this, for example, to readings on the "Davinci Principles of Genius" [https://www.scienceofpeople.com/7-steps-to-genius/].  In my own teaching, I have found that working this connection between creativity and the sciences is useful for developing design-thinking and entrepreneurship skills.  In other words, making intercultural competence relevant to students in the Sciences --and potentially, making K-12 students better able to get into the world's best engineering schools and technology jobs!
