    EASY TECHNOLOGY CONTEST

     

     

    This time we will have a very short and quick technology contest in Coolinventor.  In a recent poll, our members chose technology as their preferred career field. Therefore, we decided to do a contest in this field. 

     

    Contest Description

    There are three major problems in poor or developing nations:  1) Lack of education  2) Corruption  3) Poverty

    If you were an inventor, then what technological product would you invent to solve or minimize any one of the above problems?  Please submit three PowerPoint slides which will show us the description and design of the product you invented. For example, I chose to make a product that may solve the educational problems in poor countries.  Therefore, I decided to invent an educational device that I can give to teachers at rural areas in poor countries.  It is called the 'Teaching ToolBox'. 

    I wrote a description of this product and its solutions in this PowerPoint slide: 

    And here is how I designed the product: 

    So, just like that format in this example, please come up with your own idea on what product you can invent to solve either the 'Education', 'Corruption' or 'Poverty' problems in poor nations.  Click here to see the complete slide deck from this example as a guideline. 

     

    Contest guidelines

    1) For this contest, do not write any wikis

    2) We prefer PowerPoint slides in this contest. So please submit three slides for this contest. In the first slide,  add your name and Coolinventor profile address. In the second slide, add the following contents (just like the example shown above): 

    a) Introduction: Brief introduction of your product

    b) Problems: What problems you are targeting (that this product will solve)

    c)Solutions: How will your product solve these problems

    d) Why your product is better than others

    In the third slide, show the design of your product just like we showed in the example. Label the components to show how it will work.
