On International Youth Day, the European Patent Office (EPO) is launching Inventions for Impact, a new e-learning programme that introduces young learners to the world of inventions, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), while familiarising them with the basics of intellectual property. Through engaging courses, children explore how curiosity has driven ground-breaking inventions, discover the people behind them and gain an understanding of how ideas can make a positive impact on society. By encouraging early engagement with these topics, the programme supports the next generation in developing the knowledge and mindset needed to help address future challenges and contribute to more sustainable communities.
A glimpse at the first two courses
The programme will comprise a total of ten courses. The first two are already freely available in the EPO e-learning centre. Each course includes 3 to 4 interactive lessons with short multimedia content (5–10 minutes), quizzes, flashcards, crosswords and practical activities designed for flexible online and classroom learning.
