Tina Seelig, Professor at Stanford, gave me the following insights:
How do you come up with ideas? From problems? What kind?
Before the 1400s people didn’t know how to do scientific inquiry. Sir Francis Bacon came up with the Scientific Method, and we adopted since early age a method to discover how things work. But shouldn’t there be a process for invention? Seelig calls this the Innovation Engine
Here are some of the ideas a few friends are working on. Get inspired:
