Innovator Karlis Noel On Overcoming Challenges
By Creating Solutions - Story and Photos by Stan Bishop
Whenever you speak to Karlis Noel, he never
hesitates to tell you right away that he’s no
rocket scientist. In fact, this high school dropout
readily admits that while having a sound
grounding in formal education is important,
sometimes the classroom is not the best place
to get it.
Nevertheless, Noel went on to become a certified
Systems Engineer – most of his education in the
field self-taught, mind you -- and now creates
solutions for some of the world’s greatest
challenges. All this from the former student
who glanced sneakily at pages of Popular
Engineering and Popular Science magazines
while his teachers were at the chalkboard.
