How is the National Inventors Hall of Fame School different from other schools?
The STEM school experience is much like starting a first job. The student must bring his or her own strengths and talents to the job and put them to use. Likewise, students must be prepared to improve their skills and truly apply themselves. The National Inventors Hall of Fame School is designed to let students work collectively with inventors, STEM-related businesses and organizations, and with faculty and students from the University of Akron. The school will allow students to take intellectual risks and prepare them to become inventive, creative problem-solvers.
