Synopsis
Invent Ed is a much-needed contribution to the broad ecosystem of innovation, creativity, and higher education in America. Our country’s first generations of inventors, from Benjamin Franklin to modern visionaries like Steve Jobs, made important new discoveries by putting existing knowledge into unexpected new combinations. This inventive method led to the discoveries that made the nation a global power.
Influential educational leader Caroline Levander provides examples of how to integrate this creative method into the student experience. She offers industry leaders, regulators, and parents valuable insight into how to make the American college experience all that it should be.
After tracing the riveting and forgotten history of invention in America, Invent Ed provides a succinct and useful account of how American colleges rose to global prominence and how they operate today. It then offers guidance on how to renew US higher education and thereby ensure the nation’s ongoing vitality.
