Chief Executive at Futurelab, Stephen Breslin, explains how involving schoolchildren in the conception and design of an interactive fountain, and asking teachers to step back and allow the children control of the project, unlocked the children's "untapped potential" and made the outcomes more beneficial for all. http://bigideasfest.org License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA

Anastasoff had the idea to create a "domestic peace corps" that could transition scientists, chemists, engineers, and mathematicians into teaching positions at low-income schools. After recruiting these STEM Professionals, EnCorps integrates them into a training teaching program where they first become tutors, then guest teachers, then substitutes, before becoming full-time teachers. http://bigideasfest.org License: Creative Commons BY-NC-SA

To illustrate her point, she steps into the future to see how her own Teacherpreneurship afforded her an opportunity to solve a security problem...
