Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation
http://americanhistory.si.edu/events/ programdetail.cfm?newskey=44
Founded in 1995 through generous gifts from Jerome and Dorothy
Lemelson and The Lemelson Foundation. Lemelson Center follows three
key avenues of exploration into invention and innovation: finding new
ways to record the past by preserving and increasing access to records
and artifacts; broadening our understanding of history through
research, discussion, and dissemination of ideas; and looking toward
the future by developing programs aimed at encouraging young people to
invent.
