Judith Light Feather, Founder, President
Entrepreneur and visionary abilities have driven Judith for the past 40 years to fine tune her leadership and communication skills as her passion to affect change in education for our future grew to global proportions. Listed in the 2003-04 International Who’s Who of Education Professionals who make a difference in the world has been the culmination of years in researching methods to change the learning paradigm in order to raise the skill levels while stimulating curiosity and a desire for more knowledge in the next generation.
Invitations to present nano science as K-12 education development have been extended from around the world. As Keynote speaker for the 1st International Conference for Nano Education at the Asian Institute in Thailand, she made such a difference that the government initiated a program the following year to introduce nano science in primary grades. Invitations soon followed for ICS-UNIDO meetings in Italy to discuss education for developing nations. In August 2006, Judith Chaired the first nanoeducation session for the SPIE Conference in San Diego, and had been honored with an Invitation to speak to engineering students at Penn State University. Ongoing meetings with Arizona State University for the Taiwan education project continue with follow-up planning sessions scheduled in Taiwan for 2008.
Proof that "one person can make a difference" is reflected in the acceptance of her passion and collaboration around the globe.
