Invention – we hear a lot about it. Some may even venerate it. But how’s it done? Can you learn to do it? Are their methodologies? Is it a state of mind? Do inventions just come to you? Can you sit down and decide to invent, as if on cue? What can we learn from examples of inventions and inventors? What do psychologists say about invention?

Look around for a societal need and bring it along to a series of four classes.
