A Message from
Our Chairman
John Keegan
Invention and creativity are the very heart of the Thomas Edison legacy. He believed without doubt in human ingenuity and reasoning to solve the world’s problems. He also strongly believed these powerful forces for good in the world should be taught in school. His worldview on education is now heard in such modern day phrases in our school like teaching across the curriculum, integrated learning, hands-on design challenges, team-based learning, and yes, even STEM.
Thomas Edison not only recognized opportunity, he created it. Our foundation is proud to provide support for teachers and students through our competition. Please use our contest guide as a resource and as well as our team who is always available to answer your questions while you work on your projects! So join us for this event and celebrate the spirit of Thomas Edison. Have fun and learn!
John P. Keegan, Chair and President
Edison Innovation Foundation
