Come be inspired—learn how STEM is moving humanity forward. Hear about cutting edge innovations developed – all right here in Massachusetts! Don’t miss this opportunity to hear major innovators speak about their personal path to STEM. You might be surprised to hear their passion for STEM began early on in elementary school and how their resulting contributions changed society.

Wonder how innovators got their start when it comes to changing the world we live in?

Join us for this rare opportunity designed for industry members interested in STEM education, elementary educators, and school administrators to learn from REAL innovators about their personal path to innovation…educators get FREE PDPs!

Meet the people who patented revolutionary technologies that are used every day in the following fields:

• • • Advanced Medical Technology (Keynote) –Dr. Bernard Gordon, “Father of analog to digital conversion”
    • Audio Production – Lewis Athanas, Inventor of Audio Glass. Glass that plays “surround sound” eliminating speakers.
    • 3-D Printing – Sean O’Reilly, Specialist on mission critical and highly technical 3-D printing

Innovators will talk on their ‘ah-ha’ moments in breakout sessions about the basics of how they were inspired early in their K-12 years.

You’ll be amazed to learn the simple things that inspired them to innovate. Plus you’ll have an opportunity to network, interact with cutting-edge inventions, and get that picture or autograph for your class!
