Inventiveness

Schools of today are losing their ability to encourage kids to create and invent.  Kids who are really into science because of creativity and imagination lose that interest in the sciences when they get to college because there is no more creativity.  Reading a textbook and listening to a professor lecture for an hour with 100 other students is not creative.  These students who lose that interest could have been the students who invent something to change our world.  But that doesn't happen when the students are bored to tears in a lecture.  I see creativity as a essential skill for students of the 21st century.  The jobs of today ask for employees to be creative.  The jobs that make the money are the jobs that design and invent the product.  There has to be a product design first before everyone can manufacture it and sell it.  These inventive people are hard to find today because of the lack of interest in science.  I think that science teachers and professors should do teaching hands on.  This is how creative people learn, from using their hands to make something!  These changes in teaching science would help the future of science and better our field of creative inventions.
