How to identify a problem for a passion project?
I am trying to start a passion project, but I'm having trouble picking/finding a problem to solve. For me, it's the hardest part. So, do you have any tips or something else that can help me identify a problem I can use for a passion project? I want my passion project to be mathematics, physics/science, and technology because I am interested in those topics.

In your experience, how has the Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management helped you solve real-world problems through innovation and global research Can you share specific projects you have created? #Spring25
Hi, my name is Neriah, and I am a rising first-year student at the Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management. I am passionate about innovation, financial literacy, and fashion business/marketing, with an interest in tech and engineered solutions. I aim to use my major, Applied Economics and Management, to innovate global platforms of economic empowerment for marginalized creators and entrepreneurs. I would greatly appreciate gaining insights from a Cornell Dyson student, alumnus, or economics major who has innovated or worked on projects addressing key issues such as fashion sustainability, economic inclusion, or other challenges in the business world, especially those incorporating tech and engineered solutions. Any perspectives or advice would be incredibly valuable as I begin my journey at Cornell. Warmly, Neriah #Spring25
How do I break into a new industry?
I've been working for 20 years since I graduated from college -- 17 years at a nonprofit research institute and then the last 3 years at a large U.S. bank. My focus has been on identifying, selling/pitching, evaluating and experimenting with innovative ideas in a brought range of areas -- new research approaches, novel data science (eg, AI/ML) use cases, ways to use emerging tech to make core lines of business faster/cheaper/better, and new products & services. I left both of the last organizations when my leadership changed and there was no longer an interest in investing in more exploratory innovation (horizon 2 or 3). I see lots of companies that are investing in this type of innovation, but not many in the industries in which I have experience. How can I get the attention of recruiters and higher managers and convince them that my skillset is very transferable?
Are there companies that help market and creat prototype for your invention free of cost to you
I have a marine tech idea that is very lucrative and can help further research into marine life and related field and need help in seeing this invention made into reality I've done a patent search into it and it's in the clear I've tried searching for companies or people to make the prototype a lot of these companies aren't available to my region or are quite pricey I heard of a company that helps you make the prototype and helps you market the product to investors free of charge they charge you after final agreement with the investor but didn't see enough evidence backing thier claim my question is are there companies that do this if yes can I get some suggestions and your input no matter how relevant it is to my actual question I would love all input #marketing #entrepreneur #business #science #technology #marine-biology #finance #design #investment-management #invention #idea #innovation
What advice would you give a student that is majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Studio Arts with the goal of being an Industrial Designer?
I have a passion for innovation. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Studio Arts. I am combining the two because it is my goal to be an Industrial Designer. Mechanical Engineering is teaching me how and why things work the way they do. Studio Arts is my creative outlet and it also allows me advance my artistic skills. I would like advice. #industrial #industrialdesign #industrialdesigner #innovation #invention #patent #patents #problemsolving #creative #art #products #product #customer #mechanical-engineer #engineer #design
Is it better to sell your invention idea(s) to a company or raise money to patent it yourself?

What's the most successful way to become popular in the music industry?
Keeping in touch with celebrities in the entertainment industry is one of my favorite pass times. My reason for answering this question is because it seems as though many new artists have their two years or so of fame but it suddenly starts to die out and they lose thousands of fans. I would like to know what the best way is to keep a good reputation in terms of music and entertainment quality. #music #leadership #business-development #strategy #innovation

How to enter/help develop Space Industry?
Hi, Thanks for clicking on the question link. I am not sure what to do and would like to hear some anonymous advice. Who am I? Someone who has dreamed about whats in outer space, but currently, I am a College student who will be graduating this semester with a B.S. Degree in Economics and a minor in Psychology (~3.23 cumulative g.p.a.). Though, I could have graduated last semester I decided to stay an extra semester and pursue an interest I have in a Engineering/Science degree. I did this by studying Mechanical Engineering because it appears very versatile, though I was close to choosing astrophysics (Seems like for astrophysics, it would take at least 20 years to get where you would want to be). The purpose of this would be to eventually allow me to work somewhere in the space industry. I would greatly enjoy assisting government or third party space companies/programs develop (i.e. NASA, Space X, Deep Space Industries, or Planetary Resources). The Dilemma, it would take another 6 semesters (3 years) of hard work and money to finish this second B.S. degree and I am not so sure it would get me any closer to my dream job. I have been contemplating earning a PhD in economics and try to help that way (I do have some research ideas and would not mind teaching), but it would take at least another 7 years of school and I am not even sure I could get in or could afford it because my g.p.a. of ~3.23 is low for even getting accepted to grad school. I think I have summed up my problem well, but if there is anything relevant that could help you, help me feel free to ask. Thank you again for your help!

Is doing a double major for Engineering and Economics in college a good choice?
My name is Prithvi and I am a Junior in High School. For a while, I have been interested in majoring in Finance or Economics and college, but I have a lot of experience in Engineering, specifically Computer Science, so I am motivated to take a double major. Should knowledge of Computer Science be something I can put on my resume or is it a good choice to take a double major in college? #college #computer-science #engineering #college-major #finance #economics
