The Inventucation™ Technique Training is a method of teaching that encourages students to think innovatively, using the curriculum being taught in school, and to find concrete problems which lead to inventions and/or products in the fields of Arts and the Sciences.
The training:
1. is a frontrunner in Science, Math Technology, and Computer Science, which inspires the development of an invention.
2. supports the creation of original works, such as artwork, poetry, film, music compositions, and architecture.
3. aids in the development of a materials list needed to create a prototype.
4. provides mentoring and coaching via online e-mail support, phone discussion, video conferencing, or direct mail information to proceed from prototype to final product with the tutoring of a list of partner corporations.
5. stimulates the use of research tools including a student-built internet computer, library resources, and business mentors.
6. evaluate student innovations which have possible marketability as either educational/teaching products (see the Frey Scientific Catalog) or products that could be sold through other sources nationwide.
7. aids in the development of a business plan for selling the invention/product, including marketing, sales and accounting information.
8. develops the spirit of entrepreneurship and the confidence to market a product with the possibility of using that product to form a business.
9. begins with an evaluation of the students and the capabilities of the classroom.
10. encourages students to pick a subject they are interested in.
