Lemelson-MIT Program is recruiting excited adults (aka Invention Guardians) to serve as virtual judges & technical advisors of students across the nation who are immersed in the Invention Education Movement!
We have opportunities for you to judge at our Invention Conventions, held virtually. It is not a heavy lift -- judges are asked to attend a 2 hour training course and are given a week to give asynchronous feedback on your students. All meetings are virtual so you can judge from anywhere, anytime!

Our Invention Conventions are a great way for K-12 students to learn the power of invention education by becoming real inventors and showing off their ideas!
