'A Decade of Service in the Columbus Area'
The Invention Convention was developed
with many great and complimentary purposes in mind. One guiding
facet was the desire and need to share good and positive news
about what is happening in Central Ohio's classrooms. The media
reports on the many negative aspects of life - we aim to balance
the news with all of the great things children do ever day.
Celebrating the accomplishments of our children, our schools,
and our communities shines light on the good news that is happening
all around us. Invention Convention kids do great things and
the news of their accomplishments should be front and center
everyday.
Another founding tenet for The Invention Convention is the belief
that every child is an inventor. If you teach kids to just think,
to pay attention, provide them the right environment and tools,
and remove the fear of failure, kids can do amazing things.
Being genuinely interested in their minds and in their potential,
and helping them develop their creativity and problem-solving
skills is not only the foundation for invention, but also the
foundation for developing critical life-long skills. And the
earlier that kids develop these important skills, the better
off we all are.
Everyone at Just Think Inc. and The Invention Convention works
to improve our program to meet the changing needs of kids. We
have great partners and sponsors who share our vision and allow
us to do our job - to provide an invaluable program, to encourage,
support, and to listen. We want kids to explore ideas, trust
their thoughts, try and try again. A resilient kid who can brainstorm
without restrictions, a kid who not only learns, but learns
to think, who starts to build these skills is an indicator that
we've done our job.
Just Think Inc. is a non-profit (501c3) company started in 1995.
We have a decade of service in the Columbus community and over
the next few years we will be expanding our efforts throughout
the State of Ohio. |
