From Zero to Invention: Waterloo workshop
A one-day workshop for students who don’t have an idea yet: how to find real problems worth solving, and how to turn one into an invention.

À propos de cet événement
You don’t need an idea to take part. The morning is about finding problems: where to look, how to tell a real problem from an inconvenience, and how to describe one precisely. The afternoon turns a chosen problem into an invention concept, with a first look at whether it is new — including a live search of published patents. You leave with a written problem statement, a concept sketch and a note on what to protect. Intellectual property (IP) is the legal protection for an invention; no prior knowledge is assumed.
