As a Regional Representative of the National Inventors Hall of Fame, I am dedicated to building our K-12 partnerships nationwide. Professionally, I am proud to be a part of this forward-thinking organization that raises the bar on its curriculum, materials, and turn-key experiences each year. Our programs are interdisciplinary and relevant to 21st century learners, providing STEM engagement and representation for all students.The National Inventors Hall of Fame (NIHF) is the premier non-profit organization in America dedicated to recognizing inventors and invention, promoting creativity, and advancing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship. Inspired by Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and in partnership with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, our PreK through 8 in-school and out-of-school programs are designed to impact young minds through fun, hands-on STEM activities. Careers in the STEM field are the fastest growing segment; yet, they go unfilled due to a lack of an educated and qualified talent pool. Despite the availability of STEM career opportunities, students are losing interest and opting out of this path. Our programs support education initiatives by:- Connecting STEM knowledge and career readiness skills- Combating COVID and summer slide by engaging children in fun, academically robust experiences that are aligned with state, Common Core State Standards and Next Generation Science Standards- Providing students with diverse, relatable role models through the stories of our Hall of Famers.- Promoting children’s creativity and invention skills by helping them to develop an Innovation MindsetNIHF programs are hosted annually by over 1,800 schools and districts nationwide and impact more than 150,000 children and 18,000 educators through education outreach.
