Inventing the Future, From Your Classroom
Description:
Invention Education builds the core competencies that drive innovation: creativity, resourcefulness, and agility along with ability to dissect a problem, prototype, experiment and iterate. It inspires students of different talents and ability levels by intentionally integrating socioemotional development with STEM skills. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn from teachers who have successfully integrated Invention Education into their curricula - how they did it and how you can too.
