The episode explores how students learn through the process of designing, testing, and presenting their inventions—and why moments of failure, iteration, and public presentation can be life-changing. Listeners will also hear how the California Invention Convention reaches tens of thousands of students each year and what it will take to ensure every K–12 student has access to learning experiences that nurture curiosity, resilience, and possibility.
