What is the Invent the Future Program?

The Invent the Future program is one of the region’s largest maker challenges integrating science, technology, engineering, and design. KID Museum brings together hundreds of middle school students, families, educators, and community members to invent solutions to the question:

What will you make to improve life on this planet?

Through the process of designing their own inventions, students learn to innovate, solve problems, gain confidence, engender compassion, and work with others — all skills for future success.

How you can participate

Invent the Future is a true community collaboration between KID Museum, schools, local businesses, local government, and STEM professionals who serve as mentors and judges. Be a part of this inspiring program — and make a difference in the lives of middle school students, and our community as a whole.
