K-12 education events
The United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) education team in the Office of Public Engagement hosts monthly professional development webinars for K-12 educators interested in integrating intellectual property (IP), innovation, and invention activities into their STEM/STEAM curriculum. Whether you’re a school administrator, teacher, student, parent, or caregiver, you are welcome to join us every month to hear from representatives from various federal agencies, as well as educators, inventors, and entrepreneurs from outside of the federal government. You will learn about different types of IP, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. These sessions can help inspire a classroom of problem solvers and shape career choices. Sessions are held by webinar once a month.
Visit the USPTO's Kids, students, and educators page or email education@uspto.gov to learn more.
