Discovery and innovation have many avenues

This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usTpnCwN8cc&feature=player_embedded#! shows how a middle school science student playing with molecular models creates one that later on is subject to research. One never knows how a new idea is going to be developed, when is going to happen, or who is going to do it. Either by him/herself of as a group. But there are some critical keys for this to happen and they are around the fact that community support, and mentorship is always involved.
