"Hide not your talents, They for use were made" - Boston Native Benjamin Franklin
Researchers in cognitive and psychological sciences are exploring the “Science of Human Greatness.” By studying child prodigies, savants, and great innovators like Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein, scientists are trying to answer the complex questions of human potential: What makes a person a “creative genius”? Is “greatness” the result of innate talents or practice? Research has found that passion, interest, genes, abilities, practice, persistence, and parent/teacher support all contribute to reaching full potential, and that everyone's inborn creativity and talents can be cultivated. Yet, many children's talents and passions are ignored in schools. Explore the science behind child potential, prodigies, gifted, and genius. Discover how you can unleash and nurture your own and your students' passions, interests, expertise, and creative talents, and find out how schools can help children and youth reach their full potential.
