We are pleased you are joining us for the First Annual Innovation Summit.

Welcome to the National Innovation Summit being hosted by Project Lead The Way. While we want everyone to enjoy themselves and get to know one another this week, our primary goal is to reenergize STEM education in America.

We are incredibly proud to be your host in Washington, DC. You are the best and the brightest minds in STEM education. From industry executives and private and public education leaders to philanthropic organizations and policymakers, you are the driving force behind the all-important STEM education movement in this country.

As we all hear much too frequently, students around the world have been outperforming U.S. students, particularly in STEM fields. All of us at the National Innovation Summit know that an effective STEM education program can play a major role in reversing those student performance trends.

That is why we are here. Every student deserves the opportunity to develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they are going to need to be successful in today’s global economy. We’ve all seen how a hands-on, project-based program engages students in learning and teaches them to embrace the challenge of solving our world’s problems.

Over the next several days, we will ignite STEM education in America – and we’ll do it together, through imagination and innovation. We have visionary keynote speakers, expert panelists, hands-on breakout sessions and award-winning student project displays. We will share best practices and identify new ways to collaborate so that all students will reach their potential in the classroom.

It is up to all of us to turn every classroom in America into an Innovation Zone. Working together, we can transform education in America and create the next generation of innovators. We are so glad you’ve joined us this week – together, we will reignite the innovative and prosperous future of America through STEM education.
