Guia para Jovens Inovadores: A nova forma de abordar desafios com o método CTEM
Todos juntos, vamos criar um novo movimento de inovação.
A nossa geração está a crescer numa época com problemas novos, nunca vistos. As ferramentas de que dispomos não servem para os resolver, na grande maioria das vezes. Precisamos de uma abordagem diferente, que parta dos mais recentes desenvolvimentos da ciência e nos conduza por um novo caminho de inovação.
Hoje, mais do que nunca, está na hora de nos unirmos para marcar a diferença na nossa sociedade. Mas como podemos fazer acontecer essa mudança?
Gitanjali Rao, a jovem cientista que a Time considerou Kid of the Year em 2020, e que é também a America’s Top Young Scientist, oferece-nos uma experiência interativa para mergulhar no processo de inovação. A autora parte das suas próprias experiências e guia-nos passo a passo pelo processo de identificar problemas e desenvolver soluções.
Para estudantes, professores e educadores, Guia para Jovens Inovadores vai mostrar-nos como nos podemos adaptar a um novo estilo de aprendizagem com o CTEM (Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática) - uma aprendizagem para criar um impacto positivo na nossa sociedade.

Gitanjali Rao, Forbes Top 30 Under 30 and 2020's Kid of the Year, wrote A Young Innovator's Guide to STEM, a book meant to help students approach innovation and problem-solving, especially in the STEM field.
According to the book, there are five different steps to innovation: Observing, Brainstorming, Researching, Building, and Communicating.
First, one must begin identifying, or observing something they find problematic. To analyze the root causes of this problem, an Ishikawa diagram can be designed and filled to organize these causes. Then, a 2x2 matrix modelling feasibility and impact can be filled out with each of the root causes to help you prioritize which cause needs to be tackled during the innovation journey Next, a person must begin with brainstorming. Initial research can be done. Then, with a timer set, a person must rapidly record any idea they have, regardless of their qualities. An Affinity Diagram can be used to organize all of these ideas. Based on previous observations and research about the problem, one can select an idea from one of the categories, or even combine some of them to create a larger idea. Then, scientific research must be done to learn what technologies and scientific phenomena can be applied to progress with the selected idea and solve the problem. To eliminate unnecessary or unfeasible options, a matrix with weighted scoring can be designed in order to evaluate which solution is ideal. Afterward, a prototype of the idea must be built. Technologies such as augmented reality, nanotechnology, and wireless communication can be used an applied. Finally, after building, communicating your research and ideas must be done. A convenient acronym can be applied to strategize any form of verbal communication:
Sound
Posture
Eye contact
Articulation
Knowledge
While I do not plan on innovating, I think these steps are useful for virtually any form of problem-solving. As a person who likes to use writing for analytical and inquiry purposes, I do find these steps in this book very fascinating and possibly effective. I think these are especially helpful to writers who publish self-help, persuasive, and nonfiction works.
I loved the methodical approach and well-defined steps to each problem. The diagrams and models the author suggested were relevant and excellent, and the way the steps were individualized and the utilization of memorable acronyms made everything accessible and easy to digest. While I did not use the guiding writing prompts sprinkled within the pages of this book, I think they are interactive and highly useful for pedagogical purposes.
I believe the author has a really strong grasp of problem-solving. I think this book is severely underrated and should be more universally available in libraries and classrooms. There are tons of helpful tidbits of information and advice in this book, and I am excited to apply the author's advice in my writing some time in the future.

I have completed PhD and working as a lecturer. THERE IS A LOT TO LEARN FOR ME ALSO. First I recommend this to parents and Teachers (of all levels) as this book has information about what to provide to your child. By creating suitable environment and resources (like Gitanjali's parents did) every child create wonders.
Hi Gitanjali (if you ever happen to read this), I appreciate your efforts to bring this book and also don't stop with this. Keep motivating the children and who knows how many Nobel Laureates are going to come from them.
