Research and Development Ops

There is a continuing and growing need for research and development in just about every industry out there. From all branches of design to all branches of agriculture; there is ample room for innovation.

While browsing sales papers for deals on supplies, I stumbled across the Staples paper which showcased some cool items that were designed to fit a student's every need. The kicker? It was designed by actual students.

Have an idea for something that could make things simpler for a particular activity and or past time? Put pencil to paper and get the idea down. Create some mock-ups, test it out, make adjustments, create a presentation and find a sponsor.

If things are too complex to deal with or grasp, find a short course that will provide the essentials for this venture. I know what you're thinking. You're already in school and can't bear to take on another load.

There's a silver lining here. You don't have to enroll, per se, into a college. There are places online where you can take quick courses to learn the fundamentals of your chosen topic.

Skillshare is a great starting point for getting an introduction into pitching your ideas for innovative products to potential investors. The Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship course focuses on this element.
