0612 - Making Dreams Come True with Intellectual Property in the Georgia K-12 Classroom

This two-hour, complimentary webinar is an interactive professional development workshop that will show Georgia’s K-12 educators how to help their students harness the power of Intellectual Property (IP) in turning their ideas and dreams into reality. Educators will learn methods for teaching IP in a fun, engaging manner that encourages students to take ownership of their ideas and discover the fascinating ways their imaginations can be used to benefit themselves, their communities, and our world. This session will provide educators with ideas on how to seamlessly integrate IP into their lessons, helping students gain a better understanding of what IP is and how it can be used to protect their ideas as they grow into young innovators. Educators may also benefit personally from the information presented in this webinar as they learn how to protect and even monetize their own creative ideas.
