 * Description: || Ask yourself this essential question, "How can we “grow” creativity and innovation?" The short answer is through education. Educating students to become innovators, and innovating education systems to promote 21st Century skills requires collaboration between business, government and education. Oracle Education Foundation’s (OEF) ThinkQuest platform provides one such collaboration opportunity. Our goal is to enable teachers to integrate learning projects into their classroom curriculum and students to develop 21st century skills. This presentation will feature an overview of the award-winning ThinkQuest, an interactive online learning platform. Additionally, it will elaborate on professional development opportunities for teachers to learn project-based learning techniques using curriculum developed by the OEF. ||
