“CREATIVITY” CATEGORY

This category deals with ideas that may or may not make sense.

“Creativity” is the umbrella under which we mainly try to find “solutions in search of a problem”. Such solutions may be discussed in the blog, but we expect very few of them to land as far as projects. A project can have one of four outcomes. The Zygomatica team makes the final evaluation by itself. We are quite harsh on ourselves.

• Hopeless: The solution does not work, and the problem is irrelevant in any case
• Pointless: The solution works, but the problem is meaningless
• Respectable: The solution does not work, but it could lead to something better, and the problem is genuine.
• Admirable: A real solution to a real problem has been found.

INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS

Project: Catapult camera.  Outcome: Hopeless. An attempt to create a new type of imaging system for catastrophes, by launçhing camera-equipped projectiles to altitude of 40 meters or so. The solution is a dead end.
