2026 Project Invention Convention
On Wednesday, June 3, students from six area schools came together for the annual Project Invention Convention. Ten teams showcased their innovative ideas and creative solutions designed to make a positive impact on their communities, the region, and the planet. Guided by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, each team presented inventions aimed at addressing real-world challenges and creating a more sustainable future. We were excited to learn about their inspiring projects and celebrate the creativity, collaboration, and problem solving skills of these young innovators.
