East Carolina University Middle School Innovators Academy1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Part of the UEDA Awards of Excellence Webinar Series
The Middle School Innovators Academy (MSIA) immerses students in an intensive innovation curriculum and environment in which they must utilize STEAM principles and skills. East Carolina University designed the MSIA to combine a multi-week afterschool program with a 9-day, hands-on capstone innovation experience to train young innovators in 1) the visual, translating language of design, 2) leadership of the problem-solving innovation process, and 3) communication of the investment value of their ideas and solutions. This approach and infrastructure creates a complete set of STEAM learning resources, programs, and experiences, utilizing a previously implemented and tested conceptual framework for informal science education and innovation training. This framework is guided by the principles that the design process is the bridge between the arts and the sciences and enables creative and innovative activity that draws upon STEAM knowledge and skills.

After nearly six years, the State of Ohio’s Third Frontier program that financially supported the start-up of regional commercialization centers or “Edison Technology Incubator Programs” and “Entrepreneurial Signature Programs” now needed to make existing centers more sustainable and effective. This was the case with the programs in Northwest Ohio. It was the University of Toledo (an Edison Technology Incubator program) that approached the private entity Regional Growth Partnership in creating a joint program that brought together the public and private resources together for a more effective outcome for the region. Rocket Ventures, LLC is a joint venture between the University of Toledo’s Innovation Enterprises program and the Regional Growth Partnership, the region’s lead economic development organization.
