Teach Intellectual Property
In Your Community
Educate the next generation about the role intellectual property rights play in driving prosperity and enriching lives. Use the IPO Education Foundation toolkit to share core concepts about IP rights with middle and high school students. Help students understand the role that IP plays in all of our lives. Once students have completed the activity, make sure to provide a digital or print-out certificate of participation!
How to Connect with Schools
Connect with local schools, after school programs and clubs to find students in your community! The Toolkit includes sample emails to use to connect with school administrators or teachers. Groups to consider:
-
-
- STEAM Classes
- Business/Entrepreneurship Programs
- Girl Scouts
- Invention Education Programs
- Art, Computer Science, Robotics, Science Clubs
-
