    -Ideas

    Think and comment about 3 metaphors (include pictures of your objects for your post) to represent innovation. Describe how your metaphor represents innovation.

    Metaphor 1: Renovating a house (http://www.ehomeservices.com.sg/images/renovation.jpg)
    Innovation is about improving old ideas to make them usable in a newer context.

    Metaphor 2: Pencil/Pen (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M1ZdsxrYI3U/TLCQy_h-dNI/AAAAAAAACK8/hnju5nfgvIo/s1600/pencils.jpg)
    These items are used to create and change things, like what innovation is used for.

    Metaphor 3: Lightbulb (http://vectorblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/innovation1.jpg)
    A lightbulb represents an idea, a main component of innovation.

    -OurSpace : It provides enough space for a few groups to discuss ideas.
    -Multi-purpose rooms : Have tables arranged in groups so group work is easier
    -ADMT studio : Have empty space, may be used to construct prototypes and do hands-on work
