Building our Community of Inventors

Thanks to everyone for making this summer's PD workshops amazing events!

Expanding our Invention Education Community by Leaps and Bounds 

Lemelson-MIT hosted over over 80 educators and administrators at four events during this year’s summer professional development workshops. Attendees experienced hands-on and minds-on programming led by expert speakers, educators, and colleagues who shared activities and techniques that enable students from all walks of life to develop confidence in their ability to engage in STEM and invention.

One of the most talked about activities was the Invention Process Sprint, where attendees broke into teams and had to come up with a problem and develop a prototype for a technical solution to that problem. On that note, we’d like to give a special shout out to all our Invention Education fellows for their assistance in making this year’s EurekaFest and PD events a success.
