Week+5

=Inventioneering Proposal=

In your groups, create a proposal for the Inventors Workshop certificate, minor and major programs taking into consideration what we have talked about in class. Some ideas to consider in your proposal are:

Mission Statement Outcomes Benefits- what happens if IW works Structure Evaluation Classes- core and general

These are just a few examples to get everyone thinking, please do not limit yourselves to just this short list and feel free to choose alternatives or a subset. Review the notes from last weeks class under “Inventioneer Major and Concentration” → “Week 4” to get more ideas. Each proposal should be roughly 3-5 pages and should be sent to winslow.burleson@asu.edu before the next class period.

Your group should also plan on a 10-minute presentation on the key elements of your proposal, trade-offs you considered, and why ASU should implement your plan.


 * Each group should also create a page on the wiki and post your proposal. Link your page to the Inventioneer Major and Concentration page under the proposals sub-heading.

Group 1: Nathalea Silva, Raymond Florant, Adrian Knowles-Jackman, Carlos Iberri Terminel

Group 2: Ashley Reichert, Steven Denke, Stephen Hernandez,

Group 3: Jesse Weiss, Margarita Leonova, Kristoffer Guiang, Shaughn McCormick

In terms of the Value Proposition for Employment we discussed today, here are the words I suggested in class as Possible Qualities of an Inventioneer: Critique -- Can provide valuable critique Mentor -- Exceptional Mentor - training individuals and teams to succeed in a significant challenge Teacher/Learner - Can ask and answer question effectively at a wide variety of levels (e.g., the public and with experts) Team skills - can follow and lead and add and recruit divers talent Communication - can give a TED Talk quality talk -- and express ideas clearly and reason effectively Leadership - provide vision and maintain motivation in the face of challenge Possibility - see and leverage opportunity exceptionally well Expertise - capable of developing personal skills that make them a world class expert (DIY the latest Science and Nature article / use a next generation tool or technique)
