Second Avenue Learning and USPTO Expand IP Educational Resources for K-12
Summary
"The YouTube video series and interactive storybook empowers students with the skills to become inventors – and provides education about their natural right to protect and secure their original ideas." The video series and interactive storybook follow the mission of EquIP HQ to reach as many students as possible – especially those who may be underrepresented or underprivileged – so they can improve todays modern inventions through their unique perspectives and ideas. In alignment with this mission, the White House recognized EquIP HQ as a recommended resource to support the STEMM Opportunity Alliance (SOA), a cross-sector initiative to propel our nation toward a more equitable science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) ecosystem. Serving areas such as K-12, Higher Education, Corporate and Healthcare, Second Avenue provides digital assistance to companies and schools across the globe. In doing this, the USPTO fulfills the mandate of Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, of the Constitution that the legislative branch "promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries."
