maintenanceGeneral Support for the Altshuller Institute

 

As you know it cost a lot of money to staff and maintain an international organization. Program development, building fund, IT support, advertising and promotion are only a few of the many expenses that need to paid each year or we severely limit our capacity to grow and deliver viable programs that are needed for world growth and development. Donations in to this program will be used to provide general support to AI for overhead, rent, utilities, wages and equipment.

 

GOAL: A $500,000 endowment would insure that annual needs and stability of this Institute can be met. Your generous support of $100 or more would be a great start.

 

Any designated contribution for this program will be greatly appreciated and recognized.  Click here to Donate

Education Development ProgramVarious TRIZ providers have delivered introductory TRIZ training in middle & high schools. Teaching TRIZ in schools is much different from training engineers. In order to introduce TRIZ to schools in a systematic process, it will take time and money. We need money to:

  • Develop a curriculum for teachers & students
  • Develop an assessment tool to measure Creativity and Innovation
  • Gather data from a trial training program
  • Prepare applications for Grants to NSF, Carnegie, etc.
If we are to promote TRIZ in middle and high schools over the next several years, we will need a minimum of $50,000 each year.

Any designated contribution for this program will be greatly appreciated.  Click here to Donate.

Scholarship ProgramThe Institute would like to be able to participate in science fairs and to give away scholarships to students who exhibit innovation and creativity in the development of their projects. $500 scholarships may be given to local and regional winners and maybe $1,000 for statewide competitions. These are locals where TRIZ experts reside and can actively participate in the judging of regional and state competitions. Nothing can be done in this area until suitable funding is established.

A minimum of $20,000 is needed to provide scholarship money for the states of Massachusetts, Michigan, California and Washington to begin with.

Outreach Program

Various TRIZ providers have delivered introductory TRIZ training in middle & high schools. Teaching TRIZ in schools is much different from training engineers. In order to introduce TRIZ to schools in a systematic process, it will take time and money. Schools do not and will not pay to bring in an instructor to introduce TRIZ to their classroom. They will however let TRIZ trainers volunteer their time and resources to come in and open new opportunities for creativity and innovation.

Training the younger generation in TRIZ is essential because they are the lifeblood of TRIZ's future. Furthermore, companies will be far more willing to adopt the TRIZ methodology if their employees come pre-trained, rather than needing to spend resources to train their employees. Schools are also the easiest way to reach a large audience and effectually grow the TRIZ community.
