To Building You into creative Problems-solvers Designing sustainable solutions 

To build someone into a creative problem solver and a designer of sustainable solutions using S.T.E.A.M., you can follow these principles:

Encourage interdisciplinary learning: Emphasize the interconnectedness of S.T.E.A.M. fields and promote collaboration among students with diverse skill sets.

Hands-on projects: Engage students in practical projects that require them to apply S.T.E.A.M. concepts to solve real-world problems.

Critical thinking and inquiry: Encourage students to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the problems they encounter.

Environmental and ethical considerations: Teach students to consider the long-term impact and ethical implications of their solutions, fostering a commitment to sustainability.

By integrating S.T.E.A.M. with a problem-solving mindset and a focus on sustainable solutions, individuals can become creative, well-rounded problem solvers equipped to address complex challenges in a rapidly changing world.

The SAM.Ѳ Solution???

Here is the NEXT LEVEL equation for SUCCESS: 

Success = |Aspiration Motivation| • Opportunity

or 

S = |AM| • O

This translate to a vector(S) is the Dot(•) PRODUCT of WHO YOU ARE(AM) and the OPPORTUNITIES(O) you take.

HOWEVER...

We all start at zero(0) when it comes to OPPORTUNITY:

0 = Opportunities NOT taken (Potential O)

This just mean we ALL START AT THE SAME LEVEL, but it is up to each and every INDIVIDUAL to take ADVANTAGE of their own UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES for that..

0 To BEcome An O (as in "Oh! IMPRESSIVE!") 

When this becomes the case, your SUCCESS vector  follows this equation:

S = |AM| •  Ѳ

where:

Ѳ = 0 → O

What is SAMO?

SAMO is Success | Aspiration | Motivation | Opportunity

SAMO is meant to serve as an ACTUALIZED construct of SUCCESS:

Success
  =
    Aspiration - a hope or ambition of achieving something
     +
    Motivation - the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.
    +
    Opportunity - a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something

Intro: From Rags to Pitches

Today, I was humbled to attend a showing of a documentary presented by StartUp Maryland. It detailed the journey the STRT1UP team embarked on last year in their annual Pitch Across Maryland tour, where fresh, new entrepreneurs pitch their start up ideas in the Startup Maryland trailer(as seen below).

Amongst the hardcore networking, I found myself reflecting on the numerous trials and tribulation I faced last year. Even though I can now admit I had hit rock bottom, I would say in the midst of the storm, getting to connect with Mike Binko and the rest of the STRT1UP crew was one of the greatest rays of hope. Now that I am finally out of that storm (...forecast to be detailed in a later post), I see just how "elastic" I am. I could explain all the amazing opportunities I have stumbled upon in just the first half off this year, but remember patience is a virtue (and silence is golden).

Anyway I hope you will stayed tuned because the fun has just begun (cliche, I know but true)
