Congratulations to all of our participants this year. They overcame so many obstacles as a result of the pandemic to create inspired, thoughtful and pragmatic solutions to a wide variety of problesms. We are so impressed with you all. The list is in alphabetical order by last name.
We have available a Powerpoint slide show with the pictures and names of all the participants available for download here. Things to be aware of: the file is huge – over 143MB; the file is set to be a kiosk slide show – so once you start the slide show in Powerpoint, it will automatically play at 6 seconds per slide (each slide has 5 student pictures); the show will keep cycling through until you hit ESC; one cycle takes 3 minutes and 22 seconds.
Note: As part of the Convention, each inventor creates a video explaining their invention and how they created it. These videos are viewed by the judges as part of the judging process. We often get requests to post these videos online. As much as we would love to share these videos, we don’t post them as we don’t want, in any way, to jeopardize the student’s intellectual property (i.e the design of the invention).
