2025-2026 Lemelson-MIT InvenTeams® Announced!

MEET THE 2025-2026 INVENTEAMS

The InvenTeams were selected by a respected panel consisting of inventors, entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and college students. Some panel members were former InvenTeam members now in college or working in industry. The InvenTeams are focusing on problems facing their local communities with the goal of creating invention prototypes that will improve the lives of people in the community and beyond. This year’s teams are:

•    Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School (Charlton, Mass.)
•    Berlin High School (Berlin, Conn.)
•    Brooklyn Technical High School (Brooklyn, N.Y.)
•    Cordova High School (Rancho Cordova, Calif.)
•    Harvest Prep Academy (Yuma, Ariz.)
•    Pembroke Pines Charter (Southwest Ranches, Fla.)
•    Venture Academy (Stockton, Calif.)
•    Westminster High School (Westminster, Calif.)

The 2025–2026 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’ invention prototypes will be showcased at a technical review within their home communities in February 2026, and then again in June at a year-end celebration, EurekaFest®.
