Invention and creativity are the very heart of the Thomas Edison legacy. He believed without doubt in human ingenuity and reasoning to solve the world’s problems. He also strongly believed these powerful forces for good in the world should be taught in school. His worldview on education is now heard in such modern day phrases in our school like teaching across the curriculum, integrated learning, hands-on design challenges, team-based learning, and yes, even STEM. 
 

Thomas Edison not only recognized opportunity, he created it. With virtual learning this year, your project for might look a little different. We've included new tips in our guide and our team is always available to answer your questions while overcoming these new challenges...making you a better inventor and innovator! So join us for this event and celebrate the spirit of Thomas Edison. Have fun and learn!
