Children in developing countries are not exposed to a lot of technology. There is no stimulation for them to maximize their creative abilities and talents so as to foster personal and community development. Developing countries, particularly in Africa, are yet to realize the importance of creativity and innovation. Yet it is through such creative industries, among others, that countries such as Botswana can achieve development.
The onus of this investigative study is to find out how creativity and innovation through new technologies can be of use in Botswana's early education. The study will primarily focus on early childhood education. It looks at how to encourage/nurture creativity and innovation through the use of new media technologies to children in a small developing country called Botswana. It will first qualify the importance of building the creative industry within the learning strata in Botswana. This part also constitutes an assessment of the economic benefits of the creative industry, especially given the current challenges of lack of diversification. In order to accentuate the case, the study gives comparatives from Japan and the United States of America, wherein the author assesses the value and integral role of creative industries. Thus the core arguments revolve around the findings regarding present policy and paradigm shifts in Botswana's education system and feedback from the creative workshops that were conducted in Botswana by the researcher. The acme of this research will be a rigorous focus and analysis of the base structure that has to do with creative thinking as well as its link to technology. It builds further on how the base structure can be cultivated into a technology-based and interactive learning environment.
