414: Raising Innovative and Entrepreneurial Kids: The Next Generation of Problem Solvers

How can you instill the skills and values of innovation and entrepreneurship in kids?

And if you can teach it to kids, why can’t you teach it to grownups?

This week I’m joined by Don Wettrick, an award-winning middle school, and high school teacher and the CEO and co-founder of StartEdUp, which has a mission to empower students and teachers to apply innovation and entrepreneurship in the classroom.

He’s author of Pure Genius: Building a Culture of Innovation and Taking 20% Time to the Next Level, and also the host of the StartEd Up Podcast.

Tune in to hear:

• how to get kids AND grownups excited about this stuff
• the rules Don uses for brainstorming
• his processes for turning problems into real solutions for real customers
• how those of us with young kids can encourage them to be producers not just consumers
