STEM Innovators: Early Entrepreneurship Education Shaping the Future

Past

About

The Government-University-Industry-Philanthropy Research Roundtable (GUIPRR) convened a webinar to explore the transformative role of early entrepreneurship education. In celebration of National Entrepreneurship Month, this session highlighted the value of equipping K-12 students with entrepreneurial skills and emphasize how entrepreneurship education strengthens communities and the broader STEM enterprise.

In its February 2024 workshop, Supporting K-12 STEM Education to Create the Foundations for Innovation, GUIPRR began examining some of these themes. In the follow-up conversation, expert panelists from the Connecticut Invention Convention and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office provided insights into building a robust entrepreneurship education ecosystem. They also explored the importance of fostering entrepreneurial mindsets within K-12 education and share best practices for integrating STEM innovation early in learners’ educational journeys.

Expert Panelists:

Nick Briere, Executive Director, Connecticut Invention Convention

Doron Feller, Associate Director of Community Partnerships, Connecticut Invention Convention

Jorge Valdes, Program Advisor on STEM Education and Intellectual Property, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office

About

Caregiving is a universal experience--whether providing care for children or aging relatives or receiving care when ailing, everyone at some point will be touched by caregiving. And yet, caregiving remains stigmatized and under-supported in academia, with particular challenges for graduate students and post-docs who face greater hurdles to accessing and advocating for their needs. Building on the recent release of a National Academies report on Supporting Family Caregivers in STEMM, this webinar will unpack the caregiving experiences of post-doctoral scholars and graduate students and examine what institutions can do to better support these populations.
