Sparks are appearing across Kentucky. Students, educators and citizen leaders strike a light as they spearhead next-generation initiatives. Their ideas will illuminate the path to Kentucky's future. We follow the light of these sparks to bring you the stories behind them. This is the Innovation Update.
The University of Kentucky’s Josiah Hanna and David Spencer were recently named honorable mentions for the prestigious Goldwater scholarship. In this episode of the podcast, Josh talks with both students about their research and why it’s important for young students – and Kentucky as a whole – to embrace innovative thinking.
The first episode of the Innovation Update features Corey Alderdice, Assistant Director for Admissions and Public Relations for the Gatton Academy of Mathematics and Science in Kentucky. In this episode, Corey discusses the need for greater STEM awareness in the state and how Innovate Kentucky will address those needs.
