İnovasyon İçin Davetiye

my name is Beth Schmidt and my organization is called wishbone org I started wish phone to actually send low-income students on these after-school and summer programs that are otherwise pretty much cost prohibitive for that demographic if you look at schools they're the same as they were how many years ago right and so that right there is a big red flag right if you can look at the fact that we are teaching the same way we've taught forever that's an invitation for innovation we have the stale system right now that needs reinvigorated we need to bring technology and new ideas into the field of education in general we're in the right place and I think we're bringing in the right kind of energy with entrepreneurs who have been in the classroom teaching in general very similar to starting your own organization and really starting from scratch the skill sets that were required to succeed in the classroom those same skill sets are actually transferable to entrepreneurship I don't think I would have been able to start a company as easily as I did and it wasn't easy but as seamlessly as I did if I didn't have that experience where you are constantly knocked down and you have to get up it's just part of life it's tall order and I think those skill sets absolutely translate to resilience you need to build a company and spell on the way childhood we send all of our students through this very standard education system that just doesn't breed that type of thinking and that type of excitement for learning and putting passion at the forefront of Education and I think the more that we can do that the more we are going to get people who come out of school and think anything's possible the more that we can breed that energy then that energy is going to continue when kids get out of school and realize that the world is open for them to participate in so if you can believe in the potential for people to empower themselves and succeed you have to believe that we can change a system that's made up of people I'm going to turn optimist about the educational landscape we've put all of our energy into it financially and also in terms of human capital ideas and thoughts it's a very special time strong leaders are going where it's very difficult to go if you believe in the potential of people you have to believe in the potential of education in America to meet they go ahead and hand entrepreneurship and education you have to have fresh ideas to change something that's broken and right now education is a little bit broken
