Listen "58. Are You Training Up Innovators?"
Episode Synopsis
Show Summary:You can come up with anything you want. There are no constraints. It sounds like the perfect formula… for disaster. It’s been proven time and time again that we, and especially our students, need constraints. But how do you give them constraints without stifling their creativity? Enter Invention Convention! Tune in as Natasha questions Claire on her school’s very first Invention Convention and other important facets of this amazing corner of STEM (like wondering if we need/will get a Starbucks on the moon?), the difference between invention and innovation, and how you can use these concepts to inspire your students.Links from the Show:Henry Ford Invention Convention WorldwidePrevious Podcast Episodes Mentioned:33.
