Public Invention is an organization that aims to empower inventors who are interested in creating solutions for the public good. We are currently seeking the assistance of undergraduates or college graduates who are interested in investing their time and skills to help others locally and globally by collaborating on invention ideas.
As a volunteer, you would be responsible for coaching, team formation, curation of work, scientific publications, co-working and learning events, and material support by sharing your passion for solving scientific issues or collaborating on humanitarian design concepts and prototypes. Our inventors and inventor coaches are remote volunteers from all over the world, and they are committed to turning ideas into working inventions that can be used by others.
This position is a great opportunity to work closely with a diverse group of individuals who are making a significant difference in various communities. We welcome anyone willing to collaborate with us and help each other grow professionally.
If you're interested in getting involved in our mission to empower inventors, technologists, and students, please leave us a comment https://www.pubinv.org/volunteer/. We would love to hear from you!

Mission Statement
We empower inventors, technologists, and students to publish, find, and collaborate on invention ideas for the good of humanity through direct coaching, team formation, curation of work, publication, co-working and learning events, and material support.
Description
We challenge the notion that inventions should be reserved for patents and profits. Rather, we invite fellow builders of the future to use their skills for humanitarian purpose. We want to make the future better for everyone. To do this we remove, rather than add, legal barriers to the free use of our inventions. All work done with Public Invention is free and open to all under share-alike public licenses.
The Public Inventor of the future is not a lone genius but a person who is part of a community. We empower Public Invention Teams that embrace the interdisciplinary talents that combine to shape the future: inventiveness, design, writing, art, photography, engineering, administration, fundraising, and other skills we cannot predict. All of our work is in service to nurture humanitarian invention.
Recently, much of our work has been focused on our VentMon project, which works to improve pandemic ventilators in the fight against COVID-19. With that, we are working on an oxygen concentrator project. However, we are also working on non-pandemic related projects, such as Moonrat and Rapid E. Coli projects (clean water projects) and Euler Notebook (a stylus-oriented notebook for mathematics and science), among others. We are always looking to take on new and exciting projects working with inventors around the globe.
