Enabling innovation culture• “Companies (teachers) might consider a managed
process of idea generation that rewards risk taking and effectively harvests entrepreneurial (mathematical) ideas.” (Accenture 2013)
• Today, there’s a glut of highly trained (creative) but underemployed scientists (learners). Let’s harness their idealistic passion before they turn grey, using social networks and data sharing to create an open, interactive, dynamic model of (mathematics education) basic life sciences research. (Ethan Perlstein)
• It's always a tremendous opportunity for us to tap into our fan's (learner’s) passion, creativity and their own interpretation of "Peace, Love and Ice Cream.” (mathematics) (Ben & Jerry's – Do the Flavor a Favor competition)
