Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking on TV the other day about how Americans are failing in math and science literacy. We just don't learn the basics fluently enough to carry us into the math and science careers. I have been thinking about this ever since. We don't love math, but we love to drive. Change all the street signs to math equations. Like SPEED LIMIT 30+45 or 8.026 squared. In order to get a drivers license you would have to take a driving test and a timed math test. As you drove across country each I-40 sign would be a different equation giving you something to think about on the long lonely road.
This blog is an outlet for aspiring entrepreneurs and inventors to share and to expand their artistry. Each collaborator is asked to post a fresh concept for an invention, product, service or innovation everyday for 365 days. Just as photographers use this technique to refine their skills in photography these 365th-ers are developing their skills as entrepreneurs and inventors.
