Flukegame.com to power student invention mindset

Feb. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- Fluke - the wealth building game of accidental inventions was created to educate players regarding the wild, wild world of intellectual property. The myth is that the core of  Corporate America is finances. In actuality,  the core is intellectual property - patents, trademarks and copyrights as intellectual property  allows individuals and companies protection from competitors  for a number of years . Intellectual property  sets the foundation for generating large profits. Corporate America will do anything to protect their intellectual property and innovation as evidenced by the multiple  Apple vs Android lawsuits.  Players of Fluke, http://youtu.be/53F4bP1fays will experience thrilling scientific research, wacky inventions, stock explosions, gigantic wealth and legal duels,  while building a portfolio of cash, patents and research corporations as they maneuver through the Risk and Rewards in the wild, wild world of intellectual property. Players with the largest portfolio wins!
Corporations and President Obama  are demanding innovation. Innovation is defined as profitable invention, mathematically represented as INNOVATION = INVENTION + PROFITS. Invention is defined as an act or instance of creating or producing by exercise of the imagination. Invention is scientific creativity that many believe is an activity of mad scientists employed by corporate Research & Development (R & D) departments alone. Game inventor, Ida Byrd-Hill,  seeks to  move invention out of the R & D lab and into the broader world view with the hopes it inspires players, especially students, to embrace invention and the study of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). The Lemelson-MIT Invention Index reports, “ Sixty percent of respondents named at least one factor that prevented them from pursuing further education or work in science, technology, engineering and math fields (known as STEM).”  Ida Byrd-Hill believes schools have an opportunity to capture the “80 percent of students who said they'd be interested in courses that would help them "become more inventive and creative."
