(25 Apr 2008)
SIDA has pleasure in relating that the staff from the Science Department, Millennia Institute had organised a talk �An Inventor�s Journey�. Our member, Jim Gan gave the talk on 25 April 2008 at the Institute�s Centre Stage.
At the talk Jim shared his views and key points to note in embarking on the path to inventing with the science students.� Jim shared that the first step is to begin with the end in mind. That is to adopt a mindset with determination to complete the journey that has great challenges and obstacles in its path.
The speaker also related that very often ideation is difficult and he suggested that what is called SCAMPER be used. SCAMPER is to substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to another use, eliminate, reverse.
The talk is part of SIDA�s activity towards promoting invention and development of invention. SIDA hope to inspire students and those who are interested to make their first steps into the Inventor�s Journey.
We thank the staff of Millennia Institute for organizing the talk and our member Jim for contributing his service to the association.
