In my mind, science and engineering fairs give kids a real-world taste of the grittiest experience needed to become an innovator: trial and error. Creativity is born from the courage to explore, test limits and exercise independent judgment -- skills that cannot be acquired from rote classroom learning. To be successful in the 21st century, students must learn that outcomes do not necessarily measure up to initial expectations. To be creative in all fields of science, engineering, mathematics and the arts requires focus and precision -- and above all, perseverance. -- Paula Golden, Executive Director of Broadcom Foundation
