The Innovation Destination is a one-stop site that contains a wealth of exciting, unique and free resources for use by budding young innovators and the adults who guide, support and motivate them.
AASL quote via a tweet on 12/3/2017: "Have you seen the Innovation Destination website built primarily for librarians and students? You'll want to bookmark this site for lessons and videos. Set up a station for students to watch the kid interviews."
On this site you will find a :
Searchable database of 500+ video
segments from interviews with successful
young innovators.
Variety of educator-created, STEM-based,
and inquiry-focused lessons plans and independent learning activities.

Monthly blog covering a wide range of topics, written by a variety of experts in the areas of STEM-based innovation and youth.
