Free, Easy, & Educational - The Invention Convention is a free program offered to local school districts to help teach students creative problem solving skills. It was started as a way to recognize students and schools and all of the great things that they do everyday. We actively work with local and national media to celebrate your students & schools accomplishments. All materials are available free on-line, we offer a free educational & inspirational assembly, & support your teachers in using the materials. Finalists from your school district then meet at the Regional Invention Convention to compete for college scholarships & awards. We award at least 57 prizes to students and a 'Teacher of Excellence' award to a local educator.
It's easy get involved, all you have to do is sign up and assign a coordinator, then we'll work with them at bringing the program to your school district. The program is extemely flexible and designed to fit your school districts needs.
