To wrap up our video series with Tom Jenkins, National Teachers Hall of Fame honoree and proud member of the InventEd network, we reflect on the true impact of invention education.
“When you bring invention education into your school, people care more. The community buys in, students take ownership, and suddenly everyone wants to be part of it.” — Tom Jenkins, National Teachers Hall of Fame honoree and InventEd network member.
From small towns in Ohio to patent reviews with Microsoft attorneys, Tom has seen firsthand how invention education:
- Connects schools and communities
- Exposes students to careers they never imagined
- Empowers kids to work with adults as peers to solve real problems
- Leaves students with knowledge, confidence, and lifelong skills
This is the power of invention education, an impact that lasts far beyond the classroom.
