ABSTRACT

Summary: If we want to develop innovative abilities of children and adolescents, then a special, new direction in education is needed: innovation education. This chapter describes the fundamentals of innovation education, which refers to a wide range of educational interventions aimed at identifying,1 developing, and transforming child talent into adult innovation. These are those societal actions aimed at preparing children and adolescents to become adult innovators. Such educational interventions should include, but should not be limited to, the eleven interrelated elements. The chapter discusses each of them.
