Why Inventing is worth it
- Take the Lead on Your Learning: Inventing puts you in charge. You decide the direction of your project and turn your ideas into reality. It's your chance to create something you’ve always dreamed of!
- Build Valuable Skills: Learn how to present your invention, refine your communication abilities and improve your confidence when speaking to others. These skills will benefit you for a lifetime.
- Make a Difference: Inventing isn’t just about creating—it’s about helping. Most inventions solve problems, make life easier or support people in meaningful ways. It’s a chance to leave your mark on the world and give back to your community.
- Unleash Your Creativity: Invention isn’t just for scientists! The program welcomes all kinds of ideas. No matter your interest, there’s room for your creativity to shine.
- Gain Unique Opportunities: Inventing opens doors. You could meet mentors, showcase your work in local and national media and develop skills that set you apart. It’s your moment to show the world what you can do.
- Redefine Success: Great inventors think outside the box, solving problems for loved ones and communities. This kind of creative thinking isn’t always measured on tests. Plus, failure is part of the process—each setback is a step toward success. Invention is a safe space to "fail forward" and grow.
- Inventing is your chance to be bold, creative, and impactful. What will you create?
