You Can Help in the Following Ways
Research and science are essential
components of innovation.
The successful development of most
innovations depends on quality research,
and the ability to adapt and apply that
information to the product.
All of the innovations, concepts, and ideas
are open for scrutiny with the objective of
improvement. Design, material, function,
and application can usually be improved.
The combined effect of thousands of
positive minds can make a change in the
world.
Inquiring young minds often ask questions
and make evaluations that are not
obvious to an older generation.
Building a future with a more sustainable
balance will require new applied
technologies in many fields. Various
systems we use now will be obsolete.
Adapting and inventing new tools and
techniques may be the key to survival in a
changing world.
Practical useful ideas, innovations,
improvements that will help to
benefit mankind and/or the planet.
As an innovator you will be asked
to identify the claims that make
your innovation better than an
existing similar technology e.g.
a. more efficient b. less costly
c. safer e. better design
d. uses recycled materials
e. environmentally friendly
