What our participants say

As more teachers learn to appreciate the fundamentals of intellectual property they are able also to meaningfully diversify their lesson plans, bring youth closer to their creative and inventive potential, and contribute to shaping relevant educational curricula. Many are already exploring how best to prepare youth for wider opportunities beyond employment to business enterprise. They actively encourage creative students and their mentors to showcase inventions at science fairs and competitions.
