• 2005－"The Moment of Inspiration" - Creativity

  <p>Fully developing a child’s learning and creative path requires many varied opportunities and experiences. Children thrive on challenges and puzzles, because these activities reveal new personal interests and they are also rooted in <em>discovery</em>.</p>
  
  <p>The World GreenMech (WGM) contest brings the act of discovery and curiosity out, and turns it into real projects, with fun solutions to problems. The WGM contest is not just the systematic study of mechanics and design. It is also the equally challenging aspects of teamwork and competition.</p>
  
  <p><br>
  WGM was originally inspired by a famous American comic called "Crazy Machine", where the artist would think-up all manner of comically-complex machines, just to perform a simple task like brushing teeth. Immersion in mechanics must be fun for children, and WGM creates a synthesis of teamwork, scientific theory and fun.<br>
  <br>
  The first WGM contest was held by Gigo in 2005, to promote creativity and scientific knowledge. Since then, new aspects of design such as Green Energy and aesthetics have been added to make sure children can emerge from their fun as well-rounded and knowledgeable people. The World GreenMech challenge has been received with enthusiasm around the world.</p>
