    If in case the students encounter a technical or physical contradiction and they are stumped in generating what creative solutions they need, I recommend the use of TRIZ and its contradiction matrix. Excellent tool from Russia. I’m a proud TRIZ practitioner since 1996.

    WISHING the STUDENTS the best of the PINOY’s INGENUITY. Don’t be intimidated by the industrialized countries. Sometime they forget the most basic of principles. LOL ! ! !
