(3) Executive Summary

Technology are continuously advancing day by day. The continuous demand of people in
society for the development of various technologies present in the environment leads to a
constant invention project of the younger generations, which begins at their school. Giving
knowledge to younger generation about innovation allows them to become engaged with the
realm of technology at an early age. With the help of this young generation the innovation of
technology may lead as solution on various problem and demand of the society. One of the
observed problem with young generation’s innovation is that their idea are getting limit only to
their peers and teachers. By this Techie organization project proposal the young innovators will
be given a voice and chance to showcase their intelligence, creativity, imagination, and drive to
contribute on fast changing world. Techie organization’s project will be called “Inventorace”.
Inventorace is a three-day event where the participants, which are the younger people
interested in innovating technologies, could inspire and show their works to possible investors. On
the first day of this event booth will be created for the participants in showcasing their
technological creation. For the second day of the event, there would be various activities where
the participants will be acquainted with each other. And the last day of the event will be dedicated
exclusively to honoring the participants who presented a great invention.
The event will be implemented in Technological Institute of the Philippines - Quezon City,
where participants from different schools will be invited to join.

Impact on the non-university Tertiary Education sector:
Non-university higher education sector are organizations formally recognized as higher
education institutions whose main activity is to provide tertiary education with a focus on
professional and vocational education, whilst research active but does not have the right to award
doctoral degrees. The makerthon will further promote deeper knowledge and develop students’
understanding of science inquiry and influence their attitudes in their study towards science and
technology courses and careers. This would also provide elevations to student achievements and
enhance degrees towards their chosen careers and possible allowing them to have more
experiences or particularly knowledge on their jobs even without a doctoral degree.

Impact on National Development:

Science and Technology is the key to the prosperity and development of every nation.
Technology advancement or the system itself serves a great role towards wealthiness,
improvement of the quality of life and real economic growth and transformation in any society.
Science fairs, makerthons and such are small steps but of great chances to discover potential of
students or anyone with great ideas towards science and technology. This new generation has
been born around vast presence and rapid development of technology. In the Philippines, young
adults and people are considered as the hope of the community and are ought to face the
problems brought about by the near future, thus this makerthon can be a tool to discover possible
solutions and ways hidden in the mind of the young generations and enhancing their capabilities
by promoting science fairs to showcase their abilities and talents as well as allowing them to be
more independent in the future and be able to face the responsibilities they are obliged to as they
grow up.

Background
The continuous demand of people in society for the development of various technologies
present in the environment leads to a constant invention project of the younger generations, which
begins at their school. Educating younger generations about innovation allows them to become
familiar with the world of technology at a young age, which could also be beneficial for the society
to which they belong. The participation of younger generations in the development of the
technological aspect of society leads to many different innovations that could be developed to
solve various problems in society. Investing knowledge in the minds of the younger generation
could bring them enlightenment in the world in which they live. It enables them to tackle global
problems to which their young minds could find a more effective and efficient solution. It is better
to give forward to the younger ones than to give back to others because it could lead to a more
developed world.
One of the observable shortcomings of the younger generation's continuous innovation, as
it is only presented to their teachers and peers, they have not been able to showcase it to a wider
audience. Young people could imagine a creative and innovative way to solve the modern
problems of the world since they would have easier access to the information necessary to develop
solutions, but this youthful perspective was usually within the four walls of their classroom, and
they could not present a wider audience for inspiration. Therefore, the Techie Organization decided
to create an event where the younger generation can expose their technological innovation to a
larger audience. Techie Organization is pleased to organize an event called "Inventorace" where
students from different schools or younger people who invested in technology development can
show their work and meet other people who have the same interest in it.
Inventorace is a three-day event where the participants, which are the younger people
interested in innovating technologies, could inspire and show their works to possible investors. On
the first day of Inventorace booth will be created for the participants in showcasing their
technological creation. For the second day of the event, there would be various activities where
the participants will be acquainted with each other. And the last day of the event will be dedicated
exclusively to honoring the participants who presented a great invention. Inventorace will be
implemented in the Technological Institute of the Philippines - Quezon City, where participants
from different schools will be invited to join. Techie Organization will be sponsored by companies
who support the importance of showcasing the inventions of the younger generations to a larger
audience.

(8) Project Site
In order to provide the needed space for the competitors as well as to allow massive
audience viewing, we have set the project setting to an open gym. This will give the competitors
to openly display their skills as well as give the audience an overview of the contest and be able
to see the different inventions the contestants will execute. An open gym satisfies the need for an
open location as well as possible sittings for the audience. It also has a stage to give the hosts a
platform for event management.

(9) Project Monitoring

With the following goals, the organization will be able to monitor by:
a.) To allow the younger generation to showcase their invention to a larger audience.
Once the event is underway, monitoring would be centered on the contests. There will be
interaction between the competitors and audience. The organization will monitor how the
audience receive the displayed skill by the competitors through random interviews like what
inventions they like the best or their opinions.
b.) To give more encouragement and ideas to the younger generation in continuously inventing.
Seminars will be conducted throughout the event. As professionals provide their insight
to the audience and contestants. Monitoring will be conducted through surveys, random
interviews to gauge the opinion of the public and to check if the ideas of the events are well-
received by the audience
c.) To expose the younger generation’s technological creation to the professionals in the
technology field.

10
 The organization will conduct contests and look how the contestants showcase their
talents through the challenges. Rewards will be given out to those who perform the best as well
to encourage the contestants to aim higher as well as apply it in their future lives. Professionals
will give their insight and help give perspective to the contestants. Progress will be considered on
how the contestants attack the challenges and also scoring from the professionals or judges.
d.) To allow the younger generation to be acquainted with the people with the same interest as
them.
Experts are invented to the event and the organization will monitor the interaction
between the contestants and the experts. This will allow the organization to look at contestants
that have attracted investors which will encourage them to further improve. Progress will be
continuedly observed after the event especially on the contestants and the industry.
