2024-2025 Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams® Announced!

Meet the 2024–2025 InvenTeams The InvenTeams were selected by a respected panel consisting of university professors, inventors, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and college students. Some panel members were former InvenTeam members now working in industry. The InvenTeams are focusing on problems facing their local communities, with a goal that their inventions will have a positive impact on beneficiaries and, ultimately, improve the lives of others beyond their communities.

This year’s teams are:

• Battle Creek Area Mathematics and Science Center (Battle Creek, Mich.)
• Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (Cambridge, Mass.) 
• Colegio Rosa-Bell (Guaynabo, P.R.) 
• Edison High School (Edison, N.J.) 
• Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science (Worcester, Mass.) 
• Nitro High School (Nitro, W. Va.) 
• Southcrest Christian School (Lubbock, Texas) 
• Ygnacio Valley High School (Concord, Calif.) 

The 2024–2025 InvenTeams are comprised of students, teachers and community mentors who pursue year-long invention projects involving creative thinking, problem-solving, and hands-on learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The InvenTeams’ prototype inventions will be showcased at a technical review within their home communities in February, 2025, and then again as a final prototype at EurekaFest® — an invention celebration taking place June 9-11, 2025, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
