We empower inventors, technologists, and students to invent things that help all people by publish, find, and collaborate on invention ideas through direct coaching, team formation, curation of work, publication, co-working and learning events. We invite builders of the future to challenge the notion that inventions should be reserved for patents and profits. Rather, use their skills for humanitarian engineer purpose. We want to make the future better for everyone. Public Inventors follow these principles: Share everything equally and immediately. Work in the light. Keep it real. Don’t build weapons. Ideas are cheap. Seek egalitarian usefulness. Collaborate whenever possible. Honor and value every contribution.
