In middle school we were required to create a new invention for a problem that we had in our lives. It was a semester long project that had various steps to it. The problem that I came up with was reading in the dark. Even with a lamp, you don't get light on all of the pages because you seem to end up with shadows. So I created reading glasses that had a micro LED light attached to them. (This was several years before a company actually created this exact thing) I was fun to not only see a problem but create a resolution to that problem.
I enrolled in ENT3003 to help me become a better entrepreneurial thinker. I hope that after finishing this class I will see everyday problems a little bit differently by also automatically thinking about solutions.

I wish I was as innovative as you in middle school. I think the most innovative thing I've done is put my phone in a plastic bag so I could use it while in the bath tub. Genius, right? Thanks, LifeProof for stealing my idea! But yeah, I like that outlook- seeing everyday problems differently. Definitely a good take away from this class. Looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! That must've been a fun experience for you to get as creative as you wanted for a school project. Plus, you know it was a great and actually useful idea since it's now been produced! I, too, hope to be able to view problems from different perspectives and come up with effective solutions.
