摘要

每项发明都源于一个问题，以及在别人可能只看到无法改变的现实时，我们却看到了问题所在的创造性行为。对于一个 5 岁的孩子来说，问题很简单：她喜欢在入睡时被人揉肚子。但她的妈妈由于身兼两职，疲惫不堪，经常在哄女儿睡觉时自己也睡着了。"于是，[女孩]发明了一只会帮她揉肚子的泰迪熊，"勒梅尔森麻省理工学院项目执行主任斯蒂芬妮-库奇（Stephanie Couch）解释说。该计划的使命是培养下一代发明家和企业家。库奇说，只要有合适的资源和鼓励，任何人都可以学习成为发明家。"她说："发明并不是与生俱来的天才，也不是只有真正特殊的人才能做到的事情。她的项目为美国从幼儿园到社区大学的课堂设计了以发明为主题的课程。

Introduction: Why the Art of Invention is Always Being Reinvented: As IEEE Spectrum Turns 60, We Celebrate Creativity and Chutzpah in Tech

EVERY INVENTION BEGINS with a problem-and the creative act of seeing a problem where others might just see unchangeable reality. For one 5-year-old, the problem was simple: She liked to have her tummy rubbed as she fell asleep. But her mom, exhausted from working two jobs, often fell asleep herself while putting her daughter to bed. “So [the girl] invented a teddy bear that would rub her belly for her,” explains Stephanie Couch, executive director of the Lemelson MIT Program. Its mission is to nurture the next generation of inventors and entrepreneurs. ¶ Anyone can learn to be an inventor, Couch says, given the right resources and encouragement. “Invention doesn't come from some innate genius, it's not something that only really special people get to do,” she says. Her program creates invention-themed curricula for U.S. classrooms, ranging from kin-dergarten to community college.
