The Lemelso
One of the century’s five most prolific inventors, founder Jerry Lemelson believed that invention and innovation play a critical role in shaping our future. The President echoed that perception in his “Educate to Innovate” campaign where he inspired citizens to “recapture the spirit of American innovation and optimism” and dare to invent something new. The Lemelson Foundation is tackling the challenges of the 21st century by encouraging ingenuity to generate ideas and technologies that vastly improve lives.
