Your students have innovative ideas... what next?
Introduce the invention process to your students, and give them the opportunity to showcase their ideas. Show kids that inventing is fun and accessible to everyone!
The Invent It Kit is perfect for the traditional educator in Science, Math, Technology, or the Arts, who wants to add an invention component. The Invent It Kit also works in after-school programs, camps, or homeschool settings. It will take your students through the steps of invention, and prepare them to participate in Invention Convention Worldwide.
