Jigsaw puzzles make a great metaphor for life’s journey.
For example, they can represent life’s chaos, which can be tempered by first establishing the cornerstones of one’s character (the corners), building good habits and daily structure (the border), being organized (the sorting of pieces), and simply being patient.
Perhaps jigsaw puzzles could also be used as a tool for Deep Learning Project? Just consider using a jigsaw puzzle as a capstone project for a Python AI class, one for which the goal is to learn how to solve puzzles based on piece shape, perhaps even without a final picture.
Or maybe someday jigsaw puzzles can be used to prevent cognitive decline in older people, something which is being studied now: The Effect of Solving Jigsaw Puzzles on Visuospatial Cognition in Older Adults: Jigsaw Puzzles As Cognitive Enrichment (PACE).
But sometimes a jigsaw puzzle is just a fun little endeavor, one made even more challenging with a curious cat as a helper!
