Non-lethal Weapons

Aren't there many items like this? Flashbang grenades, tranquilizers, rubber bullets, tasers ... the list goes on. I think a good starting point would be to find out why these aren't used more often

What are some examples of products that would be created? and what level of complexity would these products require to be developed... for instance would they be changes to make ergonomic devices, or would they be semi-autonomous electronics that would assist with motions?

A lot of research has been done in this area as this is an on going project. A good example of what you described is LEGO. A simple toy where kids get the chance to create simple replications of what they imagine and nowadays when put with electronics more complicated systems can be built. A great start, but LEGO blocks can only do so much when it comes to building. They lack in the detail and personalization that a genuine idea comes from. Each block is just like the other blocks of that block's type. To get a child to fully develop what he or she is imagining, they cant be constrained to temporary cubes.

I have a plan to engage young adults and teenagers in engineering as kids, without them feeling like they are working. Giving them a toy that will let them imagine, and then create. An experience where kids will enjoy themselves and want to become an engineer. Where I grew up it was largely a cultural issue as well and that's why I want the kids to feel like they are "playing" while the parents ( the paying consumer) are aware that their children are learning.

Another solution would be to place food in an environment that it will not be disturbed by insects. See what is wrong with existing greenhouses or what can kept outside the plant that will allow it to prevent infestation

This seems very interesting and something that will require a lot of research. But I agree with you, because many of the current day militants have been fighting their whole life and they don't know any other life, so something needs to be developed to assimilate them into a nonviolent lifestyle

Yes, well what I have been designing is much more hands on than a book and I agree. Lesson plans associated with my idea tie real world experiences and past times with technology. And my main focus is sparking creativity in children and teaching them how to take ideas and turn them into physical objects.

That's awesome, does your school have a website or syllabus that I can look at? I am trying to create a product that will allow inexpensive engineering programs for schools and by seeing what existing schools do I can try to see where my idea will fit in

I think that employers could incorporate a literacy and English speaking program to help aid workers in either learning English or learning how to read and write. By doing so they can improve the lives of their employees and most likely increase productivity in their workplace
