A high level view of the innovations taking place in the manufacturing industry, in education - and in the spaces they are beginning to share. From Preschool to PhD - we are seeing an increase in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education that are helping to bring production focused lesson plans into the hands of students. Students' now have access to easier-to-use software and production machinery at their fingertips. Designing and manufacturing is becoming so easier to operate and it is happening just at the right time.

BriteHub is an online matchmaking and collaboration application
that connects buyers and suppliers. Innovation is driven by
creativity and education – we support the growing economy of
manufacturing progress in the classroom and the lecture hall –
Preschool to PHD is a brief introduction to understand how
manufacturing is categorized next to the normal reading, writing,
and arithmetic.

3. We live in an increasingly innovative world. Rapid prototyping is
readily accessible and technology, lower costs and the growing
community around open sourced electronics has pushed innovation to
an unprecedented level.
From preschool to PhDs, the advanced manufacturing landscape is
changing. With top-notch industry partnerships, the possibilities are
endless.

4. Innovation at Every Level
STEM science | technology | engineering | math
More concentration on STEM education in
grade schools and middle schools has
given birth to more talented students.
MakerBot, the leaders in desktop 3D
printing, is on a mission to put a 3D printer
in every school in the U.S. with their
MakerBot Academy program.

5. “I have kids engineering
parts that don’t exist. They’re
starting from nothing and
they’re making stuff that
they’re using. There’s going
to be things they do here
and they’re going to get to
college and the teacher’s are
going to be like ‘you know
how to do this?’”
– Vinny Garrison, technology teacher at A.

6. Innovation in higher education
The programs the exist at higher education institutions are
pushing the innovation limits – design software is more accessible
and production machinery is at your fingertips.
Research and Development (R&D) budgets have steadily
increased, rising to $65.1 billion in 2011 according to the
National Science Foundation's Higher Education Research and
Development (HERD).
Universities have built extensive mechanical shops for education
and research supporting a broad array of processes and
machines for production and prototyping.

7. • Fab Labs started as an outreach project from the Center of Bits
and Atoms at MIT
• Now a collaborative, global effort – the Fab Foundation
• Fab Labs have developed into their own non-profit organizations
that progress thought processes around invention both inside and
outside the classroom.

8. Universities and Enterprise Partners
As universities embrace the importance of innovation, corporations
have taken notice. A number of Fortune 500 companies and
government agencies have directly invested in universities to
complete special projects and create more public private
partnerships.

9. Miraclefeet, Stanford Partnership
Miraclefeet worked with the Stanford program called Design for
Extreme Affordability to produce a very easy to use, very
comfortable, and medically effective device for less than $20.
Clubfoot affects 1 out of every 750 children – MiracleFeet, with
Stanford’s help created an alternative for the developing world.

10. How can BriteHub Help?
BriteHub is adding to the innovations surrounding manufacturing
with the leading technology to centralize project assets and to
connect with manufacturers. While many university’s have in-house
production capabilities, BriteHub is supplementary and helps
projects get to the next stage.
