A nation must think before it acts.
Date : Sat., October 18, 2008 to Sun., October 19, 2008 Category : Butcher History Institute
The teaching of U.S. and world history is incomplete if it does not address the history of innovation from economic, scientific/technological, and sociological perspectives. We feel it important for students to be encouraged both to explore the role of innovation in U.S. and world history and to develop their own sense of innovation and creativity.
