Innovation offers a means perhaps the only means by which

a high-skill, high-wage economy can successfully compete with high-skill, lowerwage economies without reducing its standard of living. Low-wage countries are themselves investing in education, research, and business innovation, so the challenge for the United States is to innovate at a faster rate than its rivals.

Though there will be an increased demand for skills in science, technology, engineering, and math, there will be even higher demands for creativity, invention, and innovation.

So how do we best prepare our students for a future of work that does not yet exist, careers that have not yet been invented, an economy that prizes things not yet created
To prepare for the Age of Innovation we must all become better designers We must apply both thinking and tinkering.

Pot in Pot Refrigerator

Low cost refrigerator Farmers can earn more money by preserving their food longer. Northern Nigeria is an impoverished region where people survive on subsistence farming. With no electricity, and therefore no refrigeration, perishable foods spoil within days. Such spoilage causes disease and loss of income for needy farmers, who are forced to sell their produce daily. Just add water in between the two pots. Extends shelf life of cherry tomatoes from 3 to 21 days. Video

Variation of Pot in Pot Refrigerator

Pot in Pot type Refrigerator This is Emily Cummins. At age 21 she developed a variation of the pot-in-pot cooler.

Her version uses two metallic cylinders, one inside the other, between which a locally-sourced material such as sand or wool is packed tightly before being soaked with water.
When the fridge is placed in a warm environment, the suns energy causes the outer part of the fridge to sweat. Water evaporates from the sand or wool and heat energy is transferred away from the inner cylinder, thereby cooling it.

Television
This is Philo Farnsworth. At age 14 he was a hardworking poor farm boy living in Idaho, USA. He was fascinated by radio and electronics. One day at school he sketched for his chemistry teacher his idea for a new invention, the television. His teacher saw the brilliance of his idea and encouraged him to pursue it. He did and eventually formed the Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation.

Tractor Factor

Electricity for Lights from Tractors

Shailesh Upadhyay, 22 Ujala Shanker, 23 designed a circuit to use electricity from idle tractor batteries to produce electricity to power lights at night in their village. They came up with the idea after Shailesh found it difficult to study for school at night in his village because of frequent power cuts and the pollution from toxic kerosene lanterns. They have implemented their project in 17 homes in the village and plan to expand their reach throughout the rest of the village.

Lift-Off Craft

Saving the Backs of Laborers

In India, factories force laborers to lift, carry, and transport 70 kgs (154 lbs) of good on their backs on a frequent basis. Piyush Kant Verma, 20 years old, wanted to make the lives of these poor laborers easier. They knew that the laborers usually used bicycles to transport goods, so they decided to invent an apparatus to lift, secure, and lower the heavy load between the ground and the bicycle. This apparatus consists of a hydraulic and pneumatic system that lifts a platform and secures it onto heavy duty bicycles.

Windmill

Windmill from Bicycle Parts This is William Kamkwamba. He lives in a rural village in Malawi. His home had no way of getting electricity. So he invented a way.

At age 14, he built a windmill out of an old bicycle and parts from a scrap yard to power a homemade electrical system. He built this light switch from waste and recycled materials such as PVC pipe and old rubber sandals.
