Six degrees of separation

Six degrees of separation is a theory stating that because we are all connected by chains of acquaintances, all people (or things or places) in the world are just six connections away from each other. In this lesson, we are going to take a selection of random objects and your task is to connect them in just SIX STEPS. This activity will get you to think thinking laterally and will help you to use your creative abilities to solve a problem.
