IdeaNexus: "Creativity. For everyone"
We at ideaNexus believe that inventiveness and creativity are not necessarily innate, but are skills that can be learned. And we hope to pass on this knowledge to you.
ideaNexus is a site which helps people create to new ideas by guiding them through the design process of ideas. It helps you along the process of brainstorming, and building the idea, and helps you to realize your true creative potential.
You don't have to do it alone! There are community spaces here where you can collaborate with other like minded individuals to make inventions together, and even engage in a friendly competition to make new ideas and products.
You can also see examples of ideas created via the design process of ideaNexus. We include the blueprints, explain the idea's stages and more!
You can also connect to field-experts, field specific volunteer organizations and actively recruiting businesses in the field(s) you prefer/are working on. This not only can help you get your invention complete, but can also help you make connections and network in a certain field, and establish yourself early on, as a student and get an edge over your future competitors.
This section can also tell you if relevant jobs/positions are open in those businesses/organizations, so you can get a head start quickly, and learn new skills.
If you don't quite yet have an idea, this step of the Project Builder will guide you through the innovative process to come up with a good idea. Take your time - ideas don't come instantly...
..or if you do have a good idea and want to see it come to fruition, the next steps of the Project Builder will guide you through the organization, refinement, research and implementation process of an idea.
