Wilder Invention Convention

The classic science fair is taking a back seat to a new event that has kids solving problems with their own inventions. Many parents and teachers in elementary schools are organizing "Invention Conventions" in place of the traditional science fairs and kids are responding in record numbers with great ideas. The non-competitive, highly supportive nature of events like the Invention Convention inspire kids to identify everyday problems, brainstorm creative ideas, and ultimately invent a solution that makes us all say, "I wish I had thought of that!"
