Why Us?
Learn innovation. Proven innovation methods.
The genesis of Plinnovate started with a seed planted in the mind of a parent. This seed was a workplace workshop, facilitated by Drew Boyd, on the topic of innovation for corporations, using a method called Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT). The parent saw the potential of this method for his own kids and as a good tool in their life kit. Starting with his older son, at the time in high school, he gave his son a copy of the book, Thinking Inside the Box, to read and followed it up with a few chats. To the parent’s delight, not only was the topic of interest, the older son saw value in sharing this with his friends and peers. He actually wanted to teach this course. And guess what? There are no courses taught on innovation in schools! Yet, we hear all the time about how important innovation is to solving today’s problems and preventing those of tomorrow. And so Plinnovate was born on the premise that students can learn to be innovative just like any other subject – the sooner the better, the more practice the better.
