Inventors of the Future Publishes
Kit for Educators
"This Young Inventors kit is
an invaluable instructional tool fostering innovative
thinking in children and initiate their discovery
process through the means of inventing, individually
or through the small group process." – The
Midwest Book Review
"... this organizing manual
aspires to bring youngsters, teachers, parents and
community inventors together to inspire who knows how
many productive inventors, inventions and useful
economic activities in future years, while engaging
young people of all backgrounds in what used to be
called useful pursuits."ÿ Ralph Nader
Washington,
DC * Inventors of the Future Project is pleased to
announce the printing of Young Inventors: A Kit for
Competition Organizers (softcover; $10; Essential
Books; 1999). Inventors of the Future is a non-profit
public interest organization that encourages
inventiveness and creativity in youth.
In
the foreword to the publication, consumer advocate
Ralph Nader states that using the kit is "...
one way to evoke the latent imagination of youth
."
The
kit is written for teachers, educators, scout troop
leaders, parents and others who have an interest in
inspiring youth to invent. Young Inventors
includes sections on:
*
organizing the competition (sample press releases,
letters, entry forms etc.)
*
creative thinking techniques (from brainstorming to
the ALoU method)
*
young inventor warm up activities (role model
research; invent a game; exploring)
*
inventing 101 (dispelling myths; invention journal;
research; naming; presentation etc.)
According
to author Yuri Huta, "The essence of the Young
Inventors Kit is to inspire young people to discover
the invention process and to foster innovative
thinking. Statistics from the U.S. Patent Office
suggest that foreign inventors are making up an
increasingly larger proportion of patent holders in
America. I hope this kit enables educators to expand
the boundaries for students exploring and acting on
their own creativity."
