Reading the cover story of last week’s Capital Business (“Educating tomorrow’s entrepreneurs”) echoed what I had seen at the recent South by Southwest Edu conference, where I took part in a panel called “Student Startups: The Ultimate Educational Experience.”
I was intrigued when I realized the audience for the panel was nearly 75 percent K-12 educators — not the higher ed audience I and the other panelists were expecting. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so surprised. The piqued interest for primary and secondary educators is exciting and encouraging, especially from where I sit.
