Once again, our students and teachers navigated the difficult impacts of COVID on their classrooms and their lives, and, in spite of some rather large challenges, have managed to create original and practical solutions to a wide veriety of problems. We are just so amazed by them all!
Look through this list of inventions from students from grades K-12 – who are attending schools from all over the state! The list is arranged in order alphabetically by last name
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).
