DESCRIPTION
A high level view of the innovations taking place in the manufacturing industry, in education - and in the spaces they are beginning to share. From Preschool to PhD - we are seeing an increase in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education that are helping to bring production focused lesson plans into the hands of students. Students' now have access to easier-to-use software and production machinery at their fingertips. Designing and manufacturing is becoming so easier to operate and it is happening just at the right time.

meet BriteHub BriteHub is an online matchmaking and collaboration application that connects buyers and suppliers. Innovation is driven by creativity and education – we support the growing economy of manufacturing progress in the classroom and the lecture hall – Preschool to PHD is a brief introduction to understand how manufacturing is categorized next to the normal reading, writing, and arithmetic.

We live in an increasingly innovative world. Rapid prototyping is readily accessible and technology, lower costs and the growing community around open sourced electronics has pushed innovation to an unprecedented level. From preschool to PhDs, the advanced manufacturing landscape is changing. With top-notch industry partnerships, the possibilities are endless.

Innovation at Every Level
More concentration on STEM education in grade schools and middle schools has given birth to more talented students. MakerBot, the leaders in desktop 3D printing, is on a mission to put a 3D printer in every school in the U.S. with their MakerBot Academy program. www.makerbot.com/academy

“I have kids engineering parts that don’t exist. They’re starting from nothing and they’re making stuff that they’re using. There’s going to be things they do here and they’re going to get to college and the teacher’s are going to be like ‘you know how to do this?’” – Vinny Garrison, technology teacher at A. MacArthur Barr Middle School, New York

Innovation in higher education The programs the exist at higher education institutions are pushing the innovation limits – design software is more accessible and production machinery is at your fingertips. Research and Development (R&D) budgets have steadily increased, rising to $65.1 billion in 2011 according to the National Science Foundation's Higher Education Research and Development (HERD). Universities have built extensive mechanical shops for education and research supporting a broad array of processes and machines for production and prototyping.

• Fab Labs started as an outreach project from the Center of Bits and Atoms at MIT • Now a collaborative, global effort – the Fab Foundation • Fab Labs have developed into their own non-profit organizations
that progress thought processes around invention both inside and outside the classroom.
Universities and Enterprise Partners As universities embrace the importance of innovation, corporations have taken notice. A number of Fortune 500 companies and government agencies have directly invested in universities to complete special projects and create more public private partnerships.

Miraclefeet, Stanford Partnership Miraclefeet worked with the Stanford program called Design for Extreme Affordability to produce a very easy to use, very comfortable, and medically effective device for less than $20. Clubfoot affects 1 out of every 750 children – MiracleFeet, with Stanford’s help created an alternative for the developing world.
