Students in grades 6-8 will have the opportunity to design their own glowing signs and solar powered objects at a pilot program designed by “Invention Project”.
Teams of students will compete in “Glow Games,” where they will design a glowing sign and apply for a mock trademark to protect the intellectual property of their logo. They’ll be borrowing inspiration from the work of National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductee, Emmett Chappelle, inventor of Bioluminescence Techniques. Also, inventor-entrepreneur Steve Katsaros will “digitally” meet with students and show them how to utilize his solar technology to design their own unique solar-powered innovations.
Invention Project was developed by the National Inventors Hall of Fame for students in grades 6-8. It is designed to provide a perfect balance of STEM content, entrepreneurial concepts, kinesthetic activities and a “hang out” space, allowing participants’ creativity to flourish.
A free ten-session series of Invention Project will also be offered at Hudson Library this coming summer.
Space is limited. For more information call, 330-653-6658 x1032
