#25: Melissa Jun Rowley - Full S.T.E.A.M. Ahead
Hackers, and farmers, and dreamers, OH MY! The focus on S.T.E.A.M. education has grown at an enormous rate over the past few years. Kids now have the ability to discover and create at rates that most educational and business institutions have the capacity to capture. This phenomena of youth creation across every area of invention, has become award-winning journalist, Melissa Jun Rowley's passion. For the past year, she has devoted 100% of her personal and professional life to shining a spotlight on this world in a docu-series called MAGIC MAKERS. On Innovation Crush, she walks us through this world of seemingly super-human accomplishments, the triumphs and pitfalls of this growing community, the business of youth invention, and how educational ecosystems can keep up with these wiz kids.
