About
With the help of their teachers, parents, and Center staff members
to identify a need they'd like to meet or a problem they want to solve.
From there, students research and began developing a plan for their invention. The culminating event of Invention Convention is a science-fair style exhibition for makers!
Students lead the process with their curiosity and inventions. Teachers oversee their group of students and provide guidance along the way. Center staff are a continued resource and teachers can schedule a virtual field trip at any point in the process.
Who Can Participate?
Teachers and register individual classes, grade-bands, or after-school clubs. If your school is not involved in Invention Convention, we are also able to register individuals and assign them to a mentor!
2020-2021 School Year information coming soon.
