Great Invention Overview
Section 1 / Rationale Name technologies from which yours branched Name technologies yours improves upon or make obsolete Should include picture of each related technologies Provide a history of prior technologies that led to the development of your technology/invention/product Include technologies that exist today Include other “future technologies” that your group “discovered”
Section 2 / Justification 1) Why did you decide to create this technology? 2) Is there a problem that needs to be fixed? 3) Will this make life easier? How? 4) Who will benefit from your technology? 5) Will there be any negative effects?
Section 3 / Nuts and Bolts Description of the technology/invention/product (size, dimensions, weight) Include photo/illustration of your product, technology, or invention What is it? – Detailed description (size, dimensions, weight, materials, special features) What does it do? How does it work? Does your new technology use or need other technologies to function properly? Who would use this technology? – Public, military, big business, government, etc.
Section 4 / Advantages and Disadvantages Relate back to justification Could it harm the environment? Will it increase/decrease jobs in the workplace? Who can afford it? Why? Could it alter humanity/civilization as we know it? Could it lead to increased global populations? Decreased?
Section 5 / Why MagTech? 1) Sell me on your invention 2) Remember, I must profit to even consider investing 3) Despite my rather tree-hugging persona here at SMNW, remember, for this project, I am CEO/CFO of a multi-bazillion dollar corporation 4) Sell me on your invention – make me go... “BAM, I need this gizmo.” 5) Included in your rationale should be financial considerations concerning the production, distribution, and marketing of your technology/invention
