K-12 education events

The United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) Office of Education hosts a monthly webinar for K-12 educators interested in integrating intellectual property (IP) activities into their STEM/STEAM curriculum. Educators learn about IP and other topics related to innovation and entrepreneurship. A variety of topics are covered by USPTO experts, representatives from various federal agencies, as well as educators, inventors, and entrepreneurs from outside of the federal government.
