Innovate Now is designed to be useful on its own. But it is also connected throughout to an extensive online learning environment.
As you read, you will encounter links and references to practical tools, Problem Pals, supplemental learning materials, examples, and other resources that can help you move from reading about innovation to actually practicing it.
These resources are provided by Tharaka Invention Academy (TIA).
You do not have to call yourself an inventor.
Innovate Now is for students, educators, engineers, entrepreneurs, makers, researchers, community problem-solvers, professionals, and curious people who want to become better at recognizing problems, developing ideas, testing possible solutions, and creating things of value.
It can be read from beginning to end, but it is also designed to serve as a reference. Start with the problem or skill that matters to you.
The freely shareable English edition gives you the complete book.
