Lost Einsteins Among Us: From Classroom to Career
Description:
In 2018, Raj Chetty estimated we could quadruple the rate of innovation in the U.S. economy if we invested more equitably in the education of our “Lost Einsteins” – the millions of potential inventors (women, people of color, and individuals from low-income families) left behind in the economy. This lost potential perpetuates inequities, stifling innovation and economic growth. This panel will explore how Invention Education is narrowing these gaps and connecting students to thriving careers.
