EDISON INVENTION CHALLENGE

The Thomas Edison Invention Challenge started in 2010 to celebrate the spirit of invention, and to spur young folks to strive to become the next Thomas Edison! When Edison created his invention factory concept [later to become corporate R&D labs], he used a team-based,integrated or interdisciplinary, head and hands, approach to new product development- exactly what we recognize today as STEM. We can think of Edison as the original "STEM-meister".
