Workshop participants hear of innovators and inventions
During Week 2, students were told that curiosity and creative thinking are the keys that open doors to inventions and entrepreneurship. Staff writer Diane Mastrull and William Toms, founder and creative director of REC Philly, were informative and inspirational in their presentations.
