Rules:
1. Description
What does this innovation/research idea entail? What would it do? Give a thorough description of what this idea is.
2. Impact/Effect
How will this affect people? You may want to quantify the effect to make
the impact more understandable: eg. money benefits.
3. Target Audience
Who will this help? What demographics? Answer common questions they may have in your presentations.
4. Expenditure
What will this innovation cost (depending on whether costs is applicable)? Who will pay for this? How will this money be raised?
5. Implementation/Logistics
Include statistics. Discuss why these are important. How would
something like this start? Where would it take place? Who would you recruit and how? Who would participate?
6. Philosophy/Purpose
Why is your innovation relevant? Why would it be purposeful in today’s society?
7. Your Own Resources
Use resources outside of books, websites. For example interviews, creating a prototype of your invention (if you have resources), to make your presentation more appealing.
