Stage of Innovation: Proof of Concept (You have created something to show the innovation can work)

Problem: Creating an instrument that can be used in practical classes across all tertiary Institutions which teaches students practical knowledge in basic electronics as outlined in the Physics curriculum. The innovation solves the problem of overcrowding which is a factor affecting quality of practical knowledge being taught in tertiary institutions. The device also saves the school from cost of consumables every semester as the equipment contains all the practical modules the students are expected to learn. The training module allows for students to work alone (for institutions with less number of students) or as part of a group (for institutions with large students).

Unique Selling Point: Physics is a course that many find as abstract and so far, due to overcrowding and lack of motivation, students are not well taught, rather, most lecturers prefer to do alternative to practical thereby creating situations where most students are unable to identify basic components like diode, resistors or capacitors. With this proposed solution, the training module is easy to use both by the lecturer and the students and demonstrates practically every learning objectives as outlined in the curriculum. The innovation is suitable for all level of tertiary institutions ranging from University, Polytechnic to college of education. The innovation can also be deployed at basic level to technical colleges. With the innovation, overcrowding is no longer a problem as groups can be assigned to use the innovation depending on the numbers studying the course. Also, the innovation is cheap to maintain and ensures that the department is well prepared for accreditation activities. Using this innovation the students will equally be better exposed to practical knowledge and be industry ready.
