__Ideas for major organization__

 * Project based
 * Certificate- 2 projects (level 1&2)
 * While working on major
 * Major remains as fall back option
 * Minor- 4 projects (level 3)
 * Major-8 projects (level 4)
 * Double major
 * Turn old major into a minor
 * Mentorship - could be requirement for higher level students
 * Interaction between levels - lower level students watch higher level students present to get inspired
 * Large group project classes
 * Introduction to higher level spaces

=Homework=

We had a lot of great ideas in class and momentum about how to realize an inventioneering program at ASU. We agreed to work together on the wiki to advance this discussion about the major/minor/certificate further. Once we get through this important phase we will get to move onto the inventioneering activities ourselves!

I'd like to ask each of you to spend at least 3-5 hours before Monday's class in ways that will advance the mission.

1) Under the discussion board for the inventioneering major and concentration (week 4): - capture the important points of last week's presentation - post how such a program would work with your own major - document what classes from your major might contribute to inventioneering - respond meaningfully to 2 or more of your classmates post

2) As appropriate contribute to and edit the wiki: - to develop inventioneering major and concentration proposals (one or more flavors of inventioneering, e.g., purely independent unstructured activity vs. a series of increasingly complex projects and/or a range of complementary skills - team work, leadership, ethics, communication, technical ability, etc.) - adding relevant content to any part of the wiki

3) Be an expert in inventioneering - keep current in wiki content

4) Think about starting and/or contributing to module concepts. After the major discussion, designing a few examples of awesome modules will be our next activity.

There are a number new interesting posts in the educational resources on the wiki (check out "recent change"). Please keep yourself up to date with all the new content and the discussion so each of us is fully prepared to contribute to the discussion.

All the best,

Win
